Brad Oliver, who ported the games for Aspyr, wrote unauthorized carbon versions of SMAC and SMAX and released them to the public. Just drop the carbon app into your game folder and it's good to go. However, I am now having a hell of a time trying to find them.

Selfinflicted Drama

this is a timeless game i get never bored of.
ploblem is my new machine wont boot in OS 9 and why would i want to? panther is near perfect.
a carbon release would be much apriciated. the game does run in classic but not without a lot of quirks.

aspyr's ftp site doesn't let my download manager use segments! - Version: 1.2.1, 1/4/2004 11:19AM PST

I use iGetter 1.95, rarely a flaw in this release, so I suspect aspyr is the source of my chagrin. The ftp site says "you can't connect more than once." So the segments won't complete, and although I've tried to anonymously re-enter with a password via their ftp log-in, I fail to "pass".

But I love the game and the developer should consider releasing this wonderful marathon strategy turn based dream game!

Actually, nothing else is a problem.
I just spent 4 marathon days with this game! I haven't played SMACX for a couple years!
Had to put it away cause she couldn't deal with it, long ago.
I think it should be a welcome re-release! in conjunction with the disappeared alpha centauri, of course.

I had a problem with the game crashing at the end, and I had searched all my drives for the edtied text version without success. Aspyr's support page had the instructions, thank you very much!
