It's a shame the spiritual successor Beyond Earth was so damn blah.

I played the Morganites with a highly efficient green economy. The Gians loved me.

Sid should really release something new again, I think civilization 6 is just beating a dead horse at this point.

Gaian. Mind worms and, later, the locusts to just stomp over everything when I got the chance.

I still think of and use quotes from this game regularly, like "Our ancestors harnessed the power of a sun, so again shall we" or "Code to your hearts content".

Loved this game and so did my son. The ability to design custom units was awesome and didn't get to explore that enough. Wonder if you can a copy that would run on a modern desktop.

It's a shame they never made a successor to this game.

Coming soon on PlayStation Move and Microsoft Kinect! Alpha Centauri: PARTY!
Legendary designer Sid Meier presents the next evolution in strategy games; dance, jump, wave and crouch your way through the most compelling gameplay the Alpha Centaui series has ever seen!
Import your favourite Avatars or Miis to enhance the gaming experience - no need to belong to any of the impersonal factions of the original.
Who needs a mouse?! Units, diplomacy and city management are all controlled by waving your arms about! You will have to stand up constantly through a 40 hour game session, but you'll LOSE WEIGHT and GET FIT at the same time!
Original title a little too ‟deep”? Enjoy our new streamlined game mechanics.We have removed everything that required you to think and replaced it with minigames at the end of EVERY turn! Can YOU beat your competitors at Mind Worm bowling? Or how about a game of Sister Miriam's Karaoke Kompeition?
Who wants social commentary in games? We've removed all that ‟depressing” storyline and music and replaced it with a Nu-Metal and Emo soundtrack that will set your head on FIRE and a storyline focusing on a wise cracking, renegade space marine who just wants to get back to Earth in one piece!
Boring flat graphics getting your down? All menus are now rendered in FULL 3D, giving you the depth of field you never dreamed possible, throwing the title into the modern era.
