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

Outstanding 4X in Humanity's Next Planet
I've been playing Alpha Centauri for more than 20 years. It has all the fun of the Civ series, plus totally custamizable units, interesting factions instead of nations, and an intriguing exotic planet that is fun to explore. This is one of my favorite Sid Meier games, and a must buy for those who love them.

2025, currently unplayable
Alien Crossfire crashes on launch. No solution exists as of 7/25 that I'm aware of. Otherwise, it's a great classic game.
