	Personal computer game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Like console games, personal computer games primarily require a processing devices contained in a computer case, a display device in the form of a computer display, and input devices in the form of a keyboard and mouse by default to function.
		The added competition from console games and the early 2000s explosion in computer game development was the trigger to redesign this packaging and by 2001 PC games were almost exclusively sold in smaller DVD-sized game boxes.
		While game systems have come close to having the ability of playing games on a monitor, keyboard and mouse (see Sega Dreamcast), they have not been able to emulate the feel of gaming in both the living room and office environment.

	GameOver - Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (c) Firaxis Games (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Normal buildings build in a relatively short time, and have immediate effects upon the city they're built in, such as, for instance, 'increase morale of all units by +1', or allow a unit to be fully repaired in 1 turn, or allow alien artifacts to be examined and researched.
		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.
		This game I can safely say will become one of the classics that people refer to in their reviews and the standard that all turn based strategy will have to live up to.

		Starcraft II can still be made by the developers of the original, unlike the SMAC and Freespace franchises which are still owned by their original publishers (EA and Interplay), while their developers have been bought by other houses (2K and THQ).
		However losing take two or firaxis is worse to the cosumer.
		But I doubt take two or firaxis would have gone out of business had they not joined together.
