SMAX Available For $19.99!
Electronic Arts has come out with one of those game collections, and this one includes SMAC & SMACX!
It's called The Laptop Collection, and its going for the price above (five dollars cheaper at Amazon).
I found out about it when I went to re-download the game at Underdogs, and they gave me that link instead.
I wonder how those ebay SMACX auctions are going now...

I was happy for The Underdogs' download, because I could get the expansion in no other way at the time. That said, the download lacked the new movies, some sound files and other nifty-but-not-strictly-neccessary bells and whistles, so I have been looking for another release.
...and The Underdogs led me right to it when it came out.
Quality site.

xobsidianx: Alien Crossfire is patched with the latest version in the Laptop Collection (version 2.0). However, if you want to play the original SMAC I strongly suggest that you patch it to version 5.0 (only avaiable through the Win2000/XP Compatibility patch (8+MB)). The SMAC version in the Laptop Collection is only 4.0. Although the name of the compatibility patch is misleading it does fix several major bugs in SMAC -- even if you're using Win9x.

Do you still need any patches if you install the planetary pack?

HongHu: The Laptop Collection includes the Planetary Pack, so you still need the compatibility patch for SMAC.
