How Many SMAC/SMAX Things Do You Own?
« on: April 29, 2012, 10:04:09 PM »
I am a complete Morganite  ;morgan; , if they sold Richard Baxton/Recon Rover Rick merchandise I would buy that too, but so far I own

* Original 1999 Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri boxed game
* Original 2000 Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire boxed expanison pack
* Original Planetary Pack boxed game
* Re-edition Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri in DVD box
* Power Of The Mindworms Graphic Novel
* Centauri Dawn by Michael Ely paperback book
* Dragon Sun by Michael Ely paperback book
* Twilight Of The Mind  by Michael Ely paperback book
* GURPS Alpha Centauri Hardback book
* Tube of Organic Superlube (j/k)

I think I'm missing Vel's Strategy Guide and the offensively useless Prima Strategy guide for published materials.  Has there been anything else?  What do you own?

I have three physical copies of SMAC and two of SMAX.  Nothing like your collection.

Got me beat Royally in Spades.

I've just got the 'riginal CD (which I haven't been able to locate recently since the 'move'...) and the PP CD which I purchased on a rare holiday from Chiron, when I discovered that for us Europeans EA seemed to have jumped to a 'gold edition'

Either that or more likely I had been so immersed in SMAC that I never noticed the Crossfire issue..

I DO remember that when I first played SMAC demo, the very first faction I chose was The Morganites.
Loved it, but don't play them so often these days -- more of a Gaian nowadays.

Considering how the graphic novel fragments that I saw had Morgan/Deirdre luurve at the point of a gunbarrel -- how would you feel about a game?  ;D

* 1 SMAC boxed edition with the printed manual.
* 1 SMAC jewel-cased edition with the pdf manual.
* 1 Planetary Pack jewel-cased edition (no manual).
* 1 Prima SMAC Strategy Guide. Not much in there about strategy, but otherwise very useful for me. Well-worn, with some pages falling out but none missing.
* Several downloaded documents and utilities.

I had that exact same guide! It was indeed very useful, and helped me early on.

We also had a boxed Planetary Pack... dunno what happened to most of it, though. I know the disc got scratched bad, though. :(

I also remember the SMAX manual actually rambling on a bit as to how terrified the pirates could become, however. :D

Only 4:  got SMAC (box) off eBay, later got the Planetary Pack (no box - but I was more concerned about having the tech tree foldout, and to a lesser extent the manual).

Vel's SMAX Guide, version 4.0.

SoldOut Software SMAC Complete.

I've only got the original SMAC disk, and I bought the expansion online. I want to get the books.

Just 1 normal and 1 expansion disk, and the official strategy guide.  (Am not a big spender on game extras in general, apart from some soundtracks.)

Until quite recently, spider silk had the highest tensile strength of any substance known to man, and the name silksteel pays homage to the arachnid for good reason.
