Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri Planetary Pack (Linux)

Linux | Loki Entertainment Software, 2001

Best Computer Game I've Played
Where can I begin with this game? For any Sci-fi fan, this game is for you. I picked up a copy of Alpha Centauri from one of my friends. And I instantly got hocked on it. The whole concept of this game is wonderful. Earth life is threatned so the UN sent the game charcters up into whole new solar system (which I read you can see from earth) to start a new life. But when the spaceship lost ...

If only days and nights were longer..
so I could play this masterpiece more often! When I ended my long and profound relationship with civ2, having attained one of the first monster scores on the net, I thought that nothing would ever come close to the feeling I got out of diving deep into the perplexity of Sid Mayer's classic. I bought AC out of curiosity. I first went through the manual. Magic! I then started studying the game. ...

This is a computer game worth getting
I admit that I have never played any of the Civilization games, so I don't know if this is big step down, or not. What I do know is that this is a great game, and I love playing it. The plot is that there is something wrong with the plant Earth, so a colonization ship is sent out to find themselves a new planet. Something goes wrong and the captain is killed and the survivors split into 7 ...

Tried XP compatibility mode for Alien Crossfire?
Those of you unsuccessful at getting Alien Crossfire to work in XP - have you heard of and/or tried compatibility mode? You can tell XP to act like Windows 98 whenever you run this particular program, and it works fine.

A masterpiece...
I must admit, that when I first played Alpha Centauri I did'nt think too much of it. I got it of a friend, so I had to learn all of the controls without an instruction book. Now THAT is challenging. When I learned to play, however, I realised that this game could not have been made less complex than it is without slicing away some important pieces of the gameplay. The complexity is fascinating in ...

Still the best thinking person's game
As titled. The game's other principle designer, Brian Howard went on to do Rise of Nations, a worthy game but without the incredible story-line and in-depth richness of ACAX. ACAX was a delight not just for the gameplay but for the entire experience: the cultural references, the well-developed factions, the whole mind-worm experience. One could get immersed in ACX the same way one could ...

Still the best, after all these years
This is still he best Civilization game even though it is not called that. I own all Civs and all expansions and while I like Civ IV immensely, this is the most playable. The factions are truly different. Playing with Gaia, for example, requires completely different strategy. The units can be designed as you wish, a feature that doesn't exist in any other version of Civ. You can create your own ...

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri Expansion: Alien Crossfire

Even with it's flaws it's a great expansion!
Alpha Centauri is such an absorbing game that completely outpaces anything similar that has come out over the last 12 years. The Alien Crossfire expansion adds enough to the game that it surely is worth owning and using. Be sure to get the patch though as the game has a lot of bugs! The new human factions (Pirates, Drones, Consciousness, Planet Cult, and Datatechs) are fantastic fun! The alien ...
