*Never played the original there either. Wasn't big on PC games in the 90's.

I'm really excited about this. Alpha Centauri is so fucking good (better than Civ IMHO). I want to see them really capture what was great about the original and ditch a lot of the micromanagement grit.

Anyways is Alpha Centauri really worth playing? I've been told it's practically Civilization 2.5 which doens't look too appealing to me, so...

Alpha Centauri is good enough to spend the $6 on it at GOG.com. The gameplay is still good but the interface hasn't aged all that well. I was big into Civ2, skipped Civ3, and played a good amount of Civ4. Civ5 never really grabbed me. If that little tidbit of background helps: I still think Alpha Centauri is the most fun of the group.

I loved SimCity 2000, but that one was right on the edge of what I could comfortably manage (and honestly, any more management needed an I'd want a health plan included.) SC 3000 I tried and gave up on. I haven't paid attention to a simulation since then.
HOWEVER, I grabbed Civ Rev for the iPad and have now completed TWO games on it! TWO! Granted, I'm playing on titty baby level, but that's still way more than I ever did before. So I may be looking into other iPad options soon.

Civ 5 eliminated some of the micromanagement, though not all, if you see it on sale on Steam for cheap.

I would pick up AC from GOG which also has the Alien Crossfire expansion. I played countless games of Alpha Centauri in the day. It is immersive, with a great back story.
Matrix Games do a Civ in Space called Pandora which might be worth looking at. Not marketed as heavy as this game, but worth a look. Same kind of idea.
