Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Fake Nationality: Impressively averted for the most part, contributing to the realism and immersion. Firaxis specifically sought out voice actors who were natives of the regions their characters are from. However, there is one example of playing this straight in the vanilla game: Morgan is identified as Namibian but is voiced by the African-American Regi Davis, born and raised in Baltimore.
  • Science Marches On: One of the first secret projects you can build is the Human Genome Project, a real-life international research program to decode Human DNA that was ongoing when the game was made. Instead of still being a work-in-progress in 2060 when the Unity is launched, faster supercomputers allowed the project to be finished in 2003, four years after the game was released.
