Alpha Centauri is very impressive, dispite the dated graphics. It is clear that the developers have spent a lot of time on it, not only because the gameplay is brilliant (and very addictive), but because a lot of energy has gone into crafting a meaningful story, real characters behind the faction leaders, and a powerful vision of the future.Fans of 'hard' science fiction will likely spend some time traversing the datalinks, looking at the technologies of the future. New technologies and secret projects pop up with quotes, either from real sources (Nietzsche, Machiavelli, Einstein) or from the seven faction leaders. Such snippets flesh out the different leaders' personality and philosophy.

I really agree with everything everyone else has said, this game is FAR superior to Civ 1,2 and in a lot of ways, Civ 3 as well. The only downside to it is that in order to play hotseated with a friend, you have to download a patch for it. This is not really an issue, but is a little annoying.You can also download some new factions others have created if you know where to look, the best ones already come with the game, but there are some pretty decent ones available online as well.It also doesn't work brilliantly on very new PCs, I bought mine a few months back (mid-high spec) and tried to play Alpha on it. The menus just didn't appear, I was quite disappointed.

The planetary pack also contained Alien Crossfire, which is an expanded version of Alpha Centauri.Alien Crossfire is the best version of Civ, bar nothing. Alpha Centauri is second best, but better than the rest. Why they don't include the Alien Crossfire expansion in this I can't understand, it has more tech (not by a huge amount, but it seems to me at least 10%), and more interesting (less likely to attack you at random for no real reason) AI, and (as in Alpha Centauri?) automated units are quite capable of fighting without being micro-managed.

Wanted to try something different from my Civ2. Very good price, worked straight out of the box on my old lap top with XP which I keep (& never connect to the internet) just for old games. Very early days to comment on the actual game. Overall pleased with my purchase.
