Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri™ Planetary Pack

One of my favourite games. Love the options to manage my forces by hand, or automate them completely. The technology offers interesting choices, such as submersible troop carriers, missile-loaded aircraft carriers, and even something called a behemoth, which offers a high-mobility weapons platform with armour options. Just about anything can be armoured, come to think of it. Drawback is the stability, mostly. Have had to stop using cruisers of any type because of the naval glitch that no one has ever fixed. Still worth a buy, as others have mentioned zero crashes on certain systems, and the game-breaker that I have found has a work-around of just not using cruisers.

If you've never played and you like the genre at all, highly recommend

Alien Crossfire is no longer working on my pc (it was working fine until recently). Anyone else has problems with Alien Crossfire?

Great old game, fun for hours

IMHO, this is one of the best of the early Sid Meyer Games (like Civilization 2). Choices of which faction you play, Research Path, City Buildings and Improvements, and type of units (military or territory improving), even your diplomatic reaction to the other factions (AI Players), make every game different (and fun to play). Very absorbing! The graphics are really crude compared to the newer Sid Meyer Games, but that's part of the charm of this Oldie game. I LIKE IT!!
