I've been playing AC for nearly 20 years. It's the "follow on" from Civ2 that is possibly more properly named 'Brian Reynold's Alpha Centauri' (but was, of course, "Sid Meier's AC")

If you know Civ2, you would be very at home with SMAC. I played a LOT of Civ3 and a LOT of CivIV, but there were gripes with Civ3 and I preferred some of the fanmods for CivIV, but I don't think I've played either for nearly a decade.

Reynolds made "Rise of Nations" which was a good deal of fun (realtime strategy), but I keep going back to AlphaCent...

Everyone has their favourites I guess.
