Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri Sim game

Ya know, I've got that, an old version -'99 Release, I think ... one of the few games I do own, in fact (it was a gift). It isn't Sid's best, IMHO, but it did fill some hours while I was waitin' around for another computer to finish doing something or other that required moderate attention. Just checked ... the file was last accessed in March of '02 never did beat it, but I didn't really get serious about it, either. I've been thinkin' seriously about gettin' into WWII OnLine, though ... that looks pretty neat.

I've never tried it but would like to

If ya want I'll send it to you.

haha right on ill PM you in a sec gotta go grab a bite from the fridge.

oy! just missed it! What's the game like?

Well, you start off on an undeveloped planet and you begin by discovering and utilizing resources. As your society develops, you encounter other societies, with which you interact ... trade, diplomacy, or war. You build technologies, establish cities, develop a government, an economy, mlitary, that sort of stuff, by advancing and expanding your society, forming alliances, trading, and pyramiding technologies from basic to advanced.

so, like that ceasar game that quinn plays....? eh, safecracker can keep it.

yeah...kinda

hehehehe

Actually when this was in development I was pretty much tracking it daily...I became very bored with it before it was through and I think I went back and played a demo too...I dont have it so, theres probably a reason why...I guess Craven has the answer.
So sad...big fan of Sids.
