Alpha Centauri Found


Abstract:
After a year and a half search.

Body:
At the start of 2005 I started looking in earnest for a copy of Alpha Centauri. It took me a year and a half, but I finally tracked it down on eBay at a reasonable price (the Mac version is more expensive than the Windows), and thanks to a Carbonization patch someone created, it runs pretty well under Mac OS X. Aside from my lack of time to play it, I'm glad to have it. In my opinion it's the best game in the Civilization series that I've played. Back when it was first released I played the demo dozens of times, but never actually owned the game. I loved it so much, though, that once I felt like I had played-out Civ III, and since I can't run Civ IV on my computer, I decided it was time to go back to an old favorite. Many of my favorite features from Alpha Centauri have made a return in Civ IV, so I'm excited for the chance to play it when I eventually get a new computer. In the mean time, good old SMAC can keep me company (when I have time for it).
