Comparison: BotF vs AC
This is inspired by obstructor's comments in another thread.

Which game has more faults: Birth of the Federaton or Alpha Centauri?

Well it's BotF, though I have to say I do not consider BotF to be as bad as you have previosly suggested in comparison to many other average turn based strategy games. However, it cannot compete with SMAC.

Silly question. BotF is a stinking piece of poo, and SMAC is the greatest game ever. Of course BotF has more faults, namely that it is not fun to play.

Nice new panda, UR.

I've never played BotF, but out of solidarity with Dr Spike and Jamski, then I'm voting for it. AC didn't have that many faults - it was about as bad as the first version of many games are - before patches.

I don't think either has many real faults. Only that Birth of the Federation was poorly executed.
