I'm ashamed to say I've never played AC. PC Gamers best game ever, isn't it?

2/23/2008 12:34:58 AM

I used to play that game constantly. It was terrible. After years of regular use the CD bledw apart in the drive, with enough force to dent the casing. It was only the day after Mythbusters had tested the exploding CD.

You can't build the pyramids in AC. ^play it off the hard drive

^^

The magazine PC Gamer US awarded Alpha Centauri a score of 98%, which was the highest score ever given by that magazine — Civilization II being the previous holder of this record with 97%. In 2004, PC Gamer gave Half-Life 2 a score of 98%, tying it with Alpha Centauri. The magazine also gave Alpha Centauri Editor's choice and Turn-based strategy game of the year awards in 1999. In 2007, PC Gamer US gave Crysis a score of 98%, also making it tied for highest score.

Anyone getting nostalgic looking for Civ2 ought to PM me. I am not saying I will email you a full copy. I am not saying it will come in a zip file and is fully functional. I am not...saying...that...

I've got Civ II, I'm just looking for a cheap way to get the expansions (since my Gold disc died a couple years ago) for all the scenarios.

AC is what happens when you end normal civ by building the space ship.

one of my favorite games of my youth.

2/23/2008 12:54:59 PM

Freeciv (http://freeciv.wikia.com) is an open source clone of Civ 2 -- it's pretty nifty
