I remember, when i was younger, when i thought having a 5 or so GIG HD, less than 500 MBs of RAM and a 64 MB video card was incredible, That old system would have little use even as a paperweight in this day and age. But i remember... Spending countless, i mean COUNTLESS hours playing this game, from start to finish. Many a times i found myself leaving my computer running, with this game paused while i went to school, just so i wouldn't have to wait for it to load up when i got home. I've never been a great fan of Turn Based Strategy games but this.... Alpha Centauri, is without the slightest doubt, one of my absolute favorite games of ALL times, without question. Single campaigns' lasting days at a time with no hint of boredom in sight. I truly wish they could make an up to date version of this game, with all the trimmings of the new technology at hand, whilst keeping everything about this game that made it great as untouched as possible. Electronic Crack, as i called it, as i call many games today. In my opinion, any gamer worth his or her pixels should have this game in their library. A True Classic of epic proportions. This game deserves nothing less than the highest admiration and respect a video game can receive. Thank You Firaxis Games and all those who helped to develop this true masterpiece of gaming engineering. And Thank You GOG for making it available once again, without countless searches in vein to find a working, original physical copy again, although it is a digital download i still wish i had my original game and packaging. The game and it's expansion both work perfectly thus far. And i look forward, which i have time on my hands, to pour countless more hours into this amazing game. Thank You for reading ~Demi~
