Publisher's Description
From Electronic Arts:
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri presents an epic science fiction struggle to gain control of an entire planet. Seven human factions, all with severe philosophical and cultural differences, vie for control over the new outpost of the human race--Alpha Centauri. Gameplay is turn based, so there's plenty of time to ponder over each of your highly detailed moves. Building units can be customized, the direction of your society's research must be set, and the 3D terrain must be explored. The rich sci-fi storyline unifies the intricate and complex aspects of the game. Alpha Centauri is for those who want depth in their sci-fi strategy games.

"Demo Not Enough"
Version: Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri updated demo with intro movie 1.1
Summary
The demo gets old very quickly. You hardly get to experience the awesome game. 100 turns is NOT enough.

"A great game"
Version: Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri updated demo with intro movie 1.1
Summary
Download the demo. If you like it, buy the game IMMEDIATELY. The demo is too limited. I found the game at Radio Shack for $10 in the computer CDs rack recently. I'm still on the lookout for Alien Crossfire (the expansion pack).

"A classic beauty!"
Version: Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri updated demo with intro movie 1.1
Summary
Compared to the latest Meier game (CivIII), the graphics and sound may be a bit shaded but the gameplay on this game is the best bar none. I have trouble trying to think of a game that can hold up a candle to this calculated and excellent game. I love it!

"Micromanaging but fun i dont trust automating units"
Version: Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri updated demo with intro movie 1.1
Summary
I love this game one of the best turnbased stratagy games ive ever played this anouther example of a Sid Meyer team comming together to create excelence. There are a wealth of factions to choose from with specialties and disadvantages that make sence for their group. The only problem is when you get many formers and military units on the screen. The large amount of micromanaging needed to keep the cities running is great as well when choosing a large map beware that winning by military means will be all but imposible.

"Very good gameplay"
Version: Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri updated demo with intro movie 1.1
Summary
Good storyline, gameplay and options. Highly recommended. Any sci-fi freak will love it. The non-linear gameplay is very refreshing. Compared to the competitors (Star General, StarCraft, Star Wars and Star Trek) it outranks them all.
