There it was. A colony pod. Just to have this unit I was excited for what the game would bring. To me the colony pod meant the beginning of either an experience I would love, or love to hate. I started. One, two, three hours passed before I had the ability to pull myself out of a world of Mind-Worms and conquest. Alpha Centauri changed the face of Turn-based strategy gaming. For the first time us gamers were controlling civilizations in the future not in the past like the Civilization series.
Although I got to this revolutionary game late (just a month ago today, 7 years after its release) it gave me an in depth experience i will never forget. Because of Alpha Centauri I will never play Civ 1,2 or 3 again.
Alpha Centauri is truly a superb game.
