	Alpha Centauri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alpha Centauri A is also known as HD 128620, HR 5459, CP-60°5483, GCTP 3309.00A, and LHS 50.
		It consists of two main stars, Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B (which form a binary star together) at a distance of 4.36 ly, and a dimmer red dwarf named Proxima Centauri at a distance of 4.22 ly.
		Computer models of planetary formation suggest that terrestrial planets would be able to form close to both Alpha Centauri A and B, but that gas giant planets similar to our Jupiter and Saturn would not be able to form because of the binary stars' gravitational effects.

		Like the sun, its spectral type is G2 V. The smaller of the two, Alpha Centauri B, is dimmer, with a spectral type of K1 V. The two orbit one another elliptically (e=0.52), approaching as close as 11.2 astronomical unit s and receding to 35.6 AU with a period of just under 80 years.
		Computer models of planetary formation suggest that terrestrial planet s would be able to form close to both Alpha Centauri A and B, but that gas giant s planets similar to our Jupiter and Saturn would not be able to form because of the binary stars' gravitational effects.
		Some have speculated that any terrestrial planets in the Alpha Centauri system may be dry because it is believed that Jupiter and Saturn were crucial at directing comet s into the inner solar system and providing the inner planets with a source of water.

		Alpha Centauri's sound is essentially the same as the civilization series except for few couple differences.
		The next part of the game is expanding growing new cities, followed by conquering other pathetic factions, and finished with either you obsequiously cowering to the most powerful faction or you demanding such acts by the others.
		In Alpha Centauri you are able to use your mouse by choosing the unit and then clicking on its destination which it will then move towards.

	Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (sometimes abbreviated to SMAC) is a turn-based strategy 4X computer game created by Brian Reynolds and Sid Meier under the auspices of Firaxis Games in 1999.
		However, contrary to the concept of a benevolent Mother Earth, the planetary mind is suspicious of humans and abhors their technological intrusion on its ecological balance, often using violence to try to destroy colonists that it perceives as a threat.
		Computer controlled factions will remember past dealings, betrayals and atrocities, and will base their reactions to the player's diplomatic overtures accordingly.

		You're speeding toward the Alpha Centauri star system, part of a 22nd century U.N. expedition to colonize another world and ensure the survival of humankind.
		The complexity of ``Alpha Centauri'' is mind-boggling, as are its subtleties (One key indicator: the player's manual runs to 247 pages).
		To grow your civilization, your scientists have to master the game's myriad technologies -- from ``planetary networks'' to ``quantum machinery'' and ``nanometallurgy'' (all outlined on a poster accompanying the game).

	Review of Alpha Centauri
		Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri is obviously intended as a sequel to his Civilization game, though some of the history has been modified, since the colonists' arrival at Alpha Centauri is now the starting point of the game rather than the winning condition.
		This may be especially problematic if the game automatically assigns your combat units to use the newly captured base as its home, rather than the one that built it.
		However, I will warn that Alpha Centauri is just as addictive as the previous game, so don't buy it if you can't afford to spend huge amounts of time playing it.

	RPGnet: The Inside Scoop on Gaming
		On the whole, Civilization III is a strong, fun game, which probably is at least partially due to the fact that the developers have had three different releases to get their game play just right.
		Though much of the game is the same to this point, at least you have some variety in your victory (though, as I said, all the different victory conditions are pretty equally available if you've developed successfully to this point).
		The game isn't bright enough to figure out, for example, that you usually building improvement A followed by improvement B followed by improvement C, etc. The best you can do is tell it extremely general classes of production, and that just doesn't cut it.

		Alpha Centauri begins where Civilization left off, hurtling humanity in a spaceship called the Unity towards a neighboring star system, Alpha Centauri.
		This grid-based game is not all diplomacy, however; using your bases to research new technology or build military units can also help deter other factions from threatening you.
		While Alpha Centauri is an interesting and well thoughtout game the similarities to Command and Conqure and Civilazation II are disheartening.

	Amazon.com: Computer & Video Games: Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Alpha Centauri is a solid game -- there's a lot of detail to the game and in the classic case of Civilization it is extremely replayable: at different difficulty levels or as a member of one of the 7 factions.
		An intensely cerebral, and strangely addictive title, Alpha Centauri casts you as the leader of your choice of one of eight separate factions, all with their own unique abilities and all desperately trying to lay claim to the newfound planet of Alpha Centauri.
		As time passes in the game, Alpha Centauri's natural defenses are steadily increased, the Mindworms, evolve into both aquatic and airborne monsters, allowing "Planet" to hit you (and the other factions) with a three-pronged attack of increasingly more numerous (and deadly) specimens.

		The use of Planet as an agent of redemption and a balance to the chaotic world of the computer game is very cool as well.
		This is the second book of the Alpha Centauri series and it improves much over the first one.
		Mainly, the best part of the book is the fact that it deals more with what I feel are the more interesting aspects of the Alpha Centauri game: diplomatic intrigue, desperate alliances, and secret dealings that affect the lives of thousands.

		But in the games defence, the documentation is good and you can tweak you culture as much or as little as you want in regards to its social laws and mores.
		One of the more interesting bits in Alpha Centauri is that you can customize your units (or let the computer do it for you).
		Game play and combat very much like Civ II and odds are if you are playing Alpha Centauri you have played its predecessor.
