One of my favorite stories about Alpha Centauri was from a person on the PA forums called Wallhitter:
I learned the word Atrocity from Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri
My dad and I had a horrible discussion in the car about the word, eventually.
"Dad, what's an atrocity?"
"It's when someone does a horrible thing to a lot of people"
"...but sometimes they're necessary, right?"
"..."
- wyldfire 10y agoThis was pretty entertaining. I think I want to see if I can get this game now.
- civilian 10y agoIt's on GOG: https://www.gog.com/game/sid_meiers_alpha_centauri https://www.gog.com/game/sid_meiers_alpha_centauri and I was even able to play it on OSX--- GOG has packaged it with a Windows VM.
- AceJohnny2 10y agoFurthermore, there are a series of community patches that improve the game in a number of ways, such as making it properly work in windowed mode in Windows, and give you smooth zoom: http://alphacentauri2.info/index.php?topic=14308.0 http://alphacentauri2.info/index.php?topic=14308.0
