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

One of my favorite retro games
The traditional goal of each game in Sid Meier's Civilization series is to reach Alpha Centauri. Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, based on the Civ II engine, takes the next step and imagines how human colonies on Alpha Centauri might develop. Loads of quotes from the Datalinks and the faction leaders form the voiceovers when a new tech is discovered or a building is constructed for the first time, and there are "Secret Project" movies similar to the Wonder movies in Civ II. It may require some tinkering to get this game to run on modern computers; check the forums on this game for links to patches and mods which should help, and don't hesitate to reach out to GOG tech support if you're still stumped (they were a great help in my own case!). There is the "Planetfall" mod for Civ IV out there too, of course, as well as the "Beyond Earth" and "Rising Tides" spiritual successors to SMAC/SMACX, but it's worth the effort to get the Alpha Centauri Planetary Pack running. Highly recommended!
