Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri™ Planetary Pack

People wished a lot the Alien Crossfire to be included. Thank you GOG for listening and making it happen.

It seems that alot of the reviews in this game says that the expansion Alien Crossfire is missing, well try re-downloading the game installer. GOG has updated the game and now includes the expansion

First of all: Runs smoothly on Windows 8! And the greatest News: ON Star you can choose between standard and Alien Crossfire. GOG should really mention that Alien Crossfire is in fact included :) Im really happy with this release :) thx GOG! Finally no tweakin, no third-party-patching to play this awesome game :)

Its an awesome civilization building experience, I could play it again and again. I just finished playing Civ VI and it isn't even close to as good when it comes to the actual game play. Alpha Centauri even lets you custom design units as you see fit! OMG I love that! Custom units! so at any point you can mix and match various degrees of equipment to make units stronger or able to be built faster its all up to you. The diplomacy system seems to function a lot better than many civ games as well, you're more able to make alliances and trade agreements with other countries on the alien world you share! Civ 3 is pretty good too, probably the second best one.

I must admit, this is the very first time that I've played a Sid Meiers game, but alpha centauri truly is a wonderful way to get to know this magnificent series! As a... damn, the best definition for this game should be ''Civ simulator.. but in space'' (which is... true, since it is a CIV game... but like... in space..) which is basically an entire genre that Sid Meiers created. Politics, managerial, strategical 4X, this game offers the entire experience of a managing a civilization but with a sci-fi twist. Gameplay wise, it's a blast: yes, it got a steep learning curve, but once you get it, the game opens up and becomes a thing of wonder and also you'll realized that actually the entire structure of the game is quite simple, really ( at least, that what I felt when I finally understood it). As for the rest, it follows the same pattern as for learning the gameplay, when you finally get it, you'll get how simple but deep the game truly is. Just realized that my review must look pretty... simplistic, but this is just for how I'm sincerely astonished by Sid Meiers Alpha Centuri: amazing design overall, at the same time incredible customization and a political story shaped by your decision. So, it's a big enormous yes! even if you don't like the genre, at least you should try it once in your life as a gamer, as I regret that I waited this long to try this out. A true masterpiece from the past.
