SMAC itself if a 5-star game easily. I couldn't begin to guess how many times I've accidentally stayed up until morning, playin "just one more turn." But this sale/implementation/download is broken. It used to work. I think when I bought it on GOG was the fourth time over the years. And the GOG version used to work beautifully. But, after a hiatus of a few years, I've got the hankering again. And my original copy would not launch. The app icon doesn't even appear and bounce in the dock. So I trashed everything, re-downloaded Galaxy, and started over from scratch. I don't know what GOG did to this title, or whether it's a bug in Galaxy or the SMAC download itself. But even with a fresh Galaxy install and a fresh SMAC download, this 100% legit purchased-from-GOG version of SMAC no longer works. If you like 4x games, SMAC is, IMO, the best of the lot. But this particular SMAC is bugged and non-functional.
