Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri™ Planetary Pack

Thanks gog for adding Alien Crossfire. Now I own a spanish boxed copy (without SMACX sigh), a full game boxed english one, and the gog full game. Only I miss is spanish dub in gog's game. Bring me my Sheng-ji Yang, please. As a review I'll say that just the voice quotes on tech are just enough to love this game.

The musical notes "alien lifeform detected" still grace my memory. Stunning game.

The "good ending" for Microprose's Civilization is making the species interstellar. So this is a "proper" sequel in every aspect, though with some continuity changes. The gameplay remains utterly gripping from the start. The original unexpanded game already delivers, making the choice between Alpha Centauri and Alien Crossfire a matter of taste. It's clearly a quality title, and the occasional single screen stories ground the events so that the level of immersion is unthinkable for this type of action. Yet they can be safely ignored, the cold facts or numbers are separate.

This is one of the classic strategy games. Unfortunately, this download doesn't have the option to play in a window, so on a modern widescreen computer you get a chunky-looking, streeeeetched version of the game that makes it almost unplayable.

No turn based strategy game has been as good as SMAC
