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

Crashes right after launch
I've tried multiple patching and uninstall/reinstall without success. It used to work beautifully. Something has changed and I can't find what that is.

Game will not play on Win11
I bought this game because it has Alpha Centauri and the Alien Crossfire expansion. If you try to play a game of Alien Crossfire under Windows 11, it will crash to desktop on the first turn. If you read the forums for this game, you will see that this is a very common problem afflicting many players. I would avoid purchasing this game until GOG comes out with some kind of fix.

Does not run on Win 11
*Non-Review* Game does not start on the latest version of Windows 11 as of today. Check the forums to see if the issue has been resolved by the time you see this. Great game though, on of the classics of 4X.

Just a note
GOG added Alien Crossfire two days ago. Alien Crossfire added CD-ROM requirements originally. With that addition - this game is well worth it! So Very *Very* Worth it now! If anyone needs me I'll be nerve stapling the peasants.
