Me too. I wasted days and days on that game.

It was bad b/c it was always "Just one more turn..." That makes me want to reinstall and play a "little" this weekend. CivIII just wasn't as good.

I liked Alpha Centauri more, just for the custom units.

Always played on huge map of Planet with mid-hard difficulty.

Once my researchers discovered the gravship chassis it was all over for everyone. I could have my production so high I could crank 20 or so fully equipped "clean" (so I didn't need to support them) gravship deathmobiles out in 2-3 turns, then in the next 2-3 turns I could conquer every remaining faction.

I mean, it'd be about an ever struggle until I got that unit than if you watch the territory playback, the color that was me would just explode over the planet. God, I loved doing that.

A couple times I played just so I could start nuclear wars. I'd stockpile enough of them that I'd be guarunteed to at least kill everyone else, and sometimes I'd survive it. Not much of a planet left after one, though, it was kinda educational.


I never got into AC, perhaps I'll have to find a copy on Ebay and give it a go.

You should. AC is as addictive as CivII if not more.

Zelda.
Back in the Nes and SNes days I could beat any one of them in a single sitting.
I was unhappy with the N64 version. 3D does NOT make everything better.
