Welcome back. If you like the Civ series you will love Alpha Centauri, good purchase. I'm a little curious now what the other 2 games are you got in the deal?
Theme Hospital -- which I haven't played for years but did enjoy.
Rise of the Argonauts -- Supposed to be crap, but for the price, I'm willing to give it a go.
Besides, there wasn't anything else in the selection I wanted that I didn't already own =)

Fixing to buy my little brother's DS Lite for $40 since there is FINALLY a Suikoden game on that platform and Golden Sun 3 was announced...WOOT!

Heh, I'm going to Japan next month, and I got a mail today because apparently we needed converters, which the dude that is arranging the whole deal said wasn't necessary when he was there last year..

Yeah, wish I had known before I went, as it meant a few days where the kids had no games to play. Which didn't go down well =/

Alpha Centauri rules. And is a bitch to buy anywhere other than the UK (had to buy mine from the publisher).
Glad you had a good trip.
