Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri

aka: Alpha Centauri, SMAC
Moby ID: 4

Windows version

It polished me. A masterpiece

The Good
I own a lot to this game and its creators. I learned how to value lesser or different life, the importance of ecology, economy, diplomacy, how to see into future and what the future might bring us. The game designer vision and especially execution is flawless and after years of playing there are still elements and strategies that I've missed, never to be used. The game offers you unlimited possibilities but doesn't burden you with them. You can do whatever you chose to do do play and win the game. INFINITE POSSIBILITIES, A TRUE MASTERPIECE

The Bad
I love everything, even the dated isometric graphics

The Bottom Line
The most complex and rewarding game ever. Dated graphics and extremely high complexity can be a problem now for some gamers.
