Alpha Centauri Demo

Alpha Centauri Demo is the news today, and for late 1998 PC players that usually means one thing: another download, patch, demo, date, or box hitting shelves.

The important bit: Firaxis released a demo of their highly anticipated Alpha Centauri. Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri is a turn-based game, you are the leader of a faction that has just crash-landed on the surface of Alpha Centauri; you must now explore the area around you, discover how to survive and expand on the alien world, build up an empire,. Grab a copy of the 19 meg demo here.

That is the kind of practical news that actually helps. Either grab it, patch it, or mark the date before the next flood of downloads buries it.
