Awww, how nostalgic! It is amazing to see how much the game evolved. GC2 looks like an entirely different game altogether. I would definetely jump in this offer if I didn't already have GC1 and AP.

yeah man!if you have not had the pleasure buy it, its what started me on my proper addiction, wife left me  , she took the kids  , i lost my job   ,my house   ,my car  , but what a fantastic game   

The in-game descriptions altered dependig on the allignment you chose for the races

GalCiv 1 was a great game during its time. The only reason to pick this game up is if you can't run Galciv 2. Otherwise, why buy a game when the sequel is clearly leaps and bounds better. Story wise, it seems to take place during the same events.

But I stay away from MMO's... those are evil... evieeeel.. I tell ya.

More evil than GalCiv2? How many MMO's will tell ya it won't hurt to play a few more turns.

I hope you are kidding. I do my fair share of gaming, but when my wife says put it away, they are gone.

yeah i was just joking    the truth be known i dont get much time to play these days and if i do get time she gives me 'the evils' across the room  

Actually, I still see GalCiv/Altarian Prophecy boxes in stores. It's kindof cool. Maybe the stores are just waiting for people to buy them.

Hi Frogboy,

maybe you could give T-Man some free time to make the long overdue GC1 Metaverse aging*. This would really help to keep GC1 attractive.

Thank you always for this great series of games. I'm a fan since good old GC2 times (for OS/2 ) and bought all sequels since that time (GC2 Gold, GC1, AP, GC2). 

*Currently your data only ages when you submit anything. Thus noone who already submitted in the past has an interst to submit again since he would loose most of his points. e.g. Technician lost place no. 1 only because he submitted a game and the others not despite the fact that he submitted 800 games more than the current no. 1. And for new gamers it is very hard to gain any foothold due to all the historic memorials on the first pages  

Could you please let me know how does the box of the Ultimate edition look like? Is it a unique box or do you just get the 2 boxes (original+expansion) bundled together as the store picture suggests?
