Product Description
Galactic Civilizations I: Ultimate Edition combines the award-winning Galactic Civilizations with the Altarian Prophecy expansion pack to create a stellar adventure. It all begins in 2178, as humanity creates an invention that will lead to galactic domination: hyper-drive. As Humans take part in a race to colonize the galaxy, other civilizations are discovered with the same mission. Can you lead humanity to galactic dominance or will you sit on the ruins of your entire race? The year is 2178. But our story really begins fifty years ago. For this is when humans first came into contact with an alien civilization. The faint signals of an Arcean probe were picked up on sensors in Australia. It didn't take long for a very basic level of contact to begin between Earth and Arcea. It was the beginning of our interstellar education....

 good game but dated June 26, 2008
This game is very similar conceptually to the original Civilization series of games. Someone who plays Civ III for instance should be able to pick this up quickly. However, since this takes place in outer space it doesn't make much sense to to play on a two dimensional map the way it would playing on a terrestrial Civ map. On the bright side, this is still a very sophisticated and challenging game; you have a lot more comtrol over the economy of you civilization and a much larger tech tree than in Civ III. The game definitely looks dated and needs a three dimensional map for it to really make sense, apparently the second installment to this game is much better so I will be trying that. But if you want a challenging game that you can play on any computer, this is worth checking out.

Bought this game for my son and the software comes with an adware bundle for pornsites and antivirus software. It bypassed my antivirus software and attempted to hijack my computer. Will not buy Stardock software again and advise strongly against anyone purchasing it!!!!
