Mission: Searching for Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri Planetary Pack...

[TheCabal]

Hello,

is there still a chance to obtain SMAC Planetary Pack (Windows) (complete.. nothing missing, no extreme damages....) from somewhere? The offers @amazon are too sick...

Where to look for it? I'm really interested into getting this pack.

Greetings,
Cabal

Sure, Ebay. But it normally won't go for less than 80 USD.

Tschüs !

And if you happen to find it anywhere at less than obscene prices, please let us know.

Considering that the game is not in retail production, that is somewhat impossible. AFAIK your best bet is to find someone cleaning out their house and tossing their copy on ebay in the process.

Even online, it has become(or it was...)very difficult to get a full copy with movies and it is not popular enough for torrenting.

I know. I keep my eyes open at garage sales, second-hand stores, etc. I just can't bring myself to pay what they're getting on auction sites for a computer game, much as I'd like to have it.

There was a package that included AC, SMAX, Red Alert, and a few other programs as a package. I recall seeing this in a store like Best Buy in the not too distant past. I'm traveling and can't check right now - anyone remember the name of the package of programs?

Perhaps, once the name is clear, a search on the major software vendors. It just might be available even if it is no longer in a store.

This was called the "Laptop Collection". I doubt its still around, but worth checking for.

Hello guys,

thx for the answers! You are really nice people here. When I look over @ some quake3-forums... big difference lol

Damn I couldn't believe it at first... some auctions popped up just recently today. Wanted the US PP at first... decided to better go for the UK one (without Strategy Guide... it sucks according to owners @www.amazon.com).

Need it for my collection "most played games by me" (and I still play them). Had the luck to obtain the Civilization II Ultimate Classic Collection too (played Civ2 a lot.. but never with someone in Inet.. ppl helped me here to decide which Civ is good for Multiplayer so I purchased it some days ago.. will fit in good in my collection =) ) which I owned in the old times.

Greetings,
Cab

Wow! Thanks, Kinjiru.

Well...I picked it up off torrent about 4 months ago and it worked fine...... It took about 2 weeks to download, but it worked

For a more legal route, I saw a box set at a Virgin Megastore about a month ago that had AC in it, but no Crossfire.
