Simply the best
If our society seems more nihilistic than that of previous eras, perhaps this is simply a sign of our maturity as a sentient species.

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri™ Planetary Pack
Description
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri™ Planetary Pack includes the original Alpha Centauri and the expansion, Alien Crossfire.
Mankind begins its most monumental task: the colonization of space. A crew of internationally renowned scientists and security strategists, with wide-ranging convictions and diverse ethics, embarks on a mission that will change the world. One Planet. Seven unique factions. Which will you lead? Each faction has its own agenda, each leader a final goal. You must play to each strength and exploit each hidden weakness in your quest to rule the future.
Key features:
- Great spin-off of the legendary Civilization series, in a refreshing sci-fi setting
- Design your own units. Balance their speed, power, and toughness to suit your current tactical needs
- Seven factions to chose from, each with its own artificial intelligence model that creates a very suggestive feeling that you’re up against real people

unable to play crossfire
Im very happy to have Alpha Centauri, but alien crossfire doesn't work on my system. The base game seems to be working fine but the expansion crashes right after the initial base is named.

My "Desert Island Game"
If I was on a desert island with a laptop with a solar charger, no Internet, and only 1 game on it, it would be SMAC. I've loved this game since it first came out, and I've got it on CD-ROM, GOG, AND Steam!
