To be honest, it probably wasn't the reviewers who said Alpha Centauri looks dated, it was just me.
When it was released I thought "hey, this looks like Civ II in space with ugly brown and grey landscape tiles". The graphics, which were too similar and imo even a bit inferior to Civ II which had been released 3 years earlier, plus the restricted scifi scenario were the main reason I skipped Alpha Centauri and waited for Civ III instead despite all the critical acclaim AC got.
