Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri™ Planetary Pack

Even for those of you, who are not the biggest fans of turnbased strategy, this old masterpiece has a really astonishing atmosphere to enjoy! The different guilds are indeed different in ideology, which is perfectly illustrated by the leaders comments and speeches of some literary quality during the whole game. Due to the many options to choose from and the various factors to deal with in addition to the quite foreign, not friendly world its a remarkable experience.

A 4x Turn-based-grand-strategy from Sid Meier. If you played Civ-series - you should try this game. Some fans joke about Alpha centauri like "It's a sequel of Civ after Scientific victory". Well sort of yes :). It's still look like "Civ" But in more alien-bizzare setting. More "far-from-Earth" mechanics and more discoveries. Try your wits and skills against different factions that nothing-closer to earth-based nations. A complex game with a lot of well placed mechanics, decent AI and longest runs of sessions. A gem, well polished and brought to auditory. Graphics is neat (As for game of end of Millenium) , sound design is decent, and gameplay deep like alien ocean and opened all for player's discovery. One of best games in "CIV"-like family.

It's the latter part of 2023 and I'm still playing this very old game. It still has its charm. It's almost unplayable on modern machines because of how dated it is, but if you install the UI mod, then you can play it with your screen's native resolution and have a smooth scrolling and zooming experience. It's the only CIV game I know that allows you to design your own unit. Wreak havoc with your custom-designed overgeared tank that para drops in front of your enemy's doorsteps and pumps them with harmful gas! It's a unique classic, and a must-have for all Sid Meier's fans.

This is still the best Civilization game for me. And the addition of the expansion pack just makes it a must-buy for any strategy fan. The combination of depth, strategy and atmosphere keeps drawing me back to the game even today, and I can never get enough of the intrigue and setting of the game.

Thank you GOG!!! made a great game greater by including the best expansion pack..
