Interactive game review for Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri computer game.

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri is truly one of the best games ever. All its remakes during the 21 century are awesome too, but once per year or two, I spend a week grinding AC Alien Crossfire, that brings unique feeling.

What I need to know to run the game:

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri - Alien Crossfire(expansion) is a 4x4 turn based strategy game from 1999, that take place on a strange fungal alien world.
To make it run on your computer resolution, even on wide resolution screen monitors, paste the code in the commas "DirectDraw=0" in your Alpha Centauri.ini file, just under [Alpha Centauri] line.
Windowed mode is almost impossible, some people runs the game twice, and close one of the applications to make it windowed but not always works.

What I need to know when starting new game:

Play with Gaians, they can capture mind worms and isles of the deep.
Make forests, all forests, forests are awesome with Tree Farm and Hybrid Forest buildings.
Make the Weather Paradigm world wonder ASP, it allows to rise/lower terrain and drill for rivers and dig Boreholes.
Dig Boreholes on squares that are not used by cities to avoid ECO damage and send Crawlers there to get the insane amount of minerals or energy.
Explore fast to get more pods
Save money to buy critical wonders.
Do the population control well
