Amazing Secrets of Our World
Beneath Earths thin skin of rocks and soil there is an inner world, full of surprises. Discover places you were not supposed to see, and secrets that were never meant to be revealed. Marvel at hidden treasures, natural wonders, and the extraordinary ways we are mastering our planets underground worlds.
Part 1: Natural Wonders - Natures underworld is an ominous, alien landscape, inspiring nightmares, myths and legends. By challenging our fears and penetrating the dark we discover amazing sights and creatures. See the breathtaking deep cave paintings made by early humans. Wonder at the eerie light created by millions of tiny creatures in a New Zealand cavern. Travel with divers to explore a treacherous underground sea in the Yucatan.
Be there as scientists discover a frozen lake that has been closed off for millions of years, perhaps containing ancient life forms. Enter a deep African cave with elephants and other plains animals as they ignore all risk in their search for essential salts. Caves with millions of bats, and sightless, colorless weird creatures, eerie catacombs and their gruesome inhabitants, glorious crystal caves... all this and more in the Natural Wonders volume of Amazing Underground Secrets.
Part 2: Secrets and Treasures - If you have got a secret, or something valuable to hide, there is no better way to conceal it than going underground. See the stunning treasure that was left in the tomb of the wife of Pharaoh Ramses II. Discover ancient Chinas surprising innovation buried along with the Emperors Terracotta Army. A priceless hoard of Saxon gold, the hiding place for Nazi loot, the possible hiding place for the Holy Grail, an underground city, secret war tunnels, and the remarkable top secret alternative home for the US Government in case of nuclear attack... all this and more in the Secrets and Treasures volume of Amazing Underground Secrets.
Part 3: Mastering the Underground World - Our planets underground world is our new frontier... it is full of potential, but harnessing it is difficult, and often very dangerous. Despite the risks, humans have been exploring the benefits of going underground for thousands of years. See the secret that kept the ancient, wealthy city of Petra at the center of trade routes for hundreds of years. Learn how the Italian city of Orvieto survived sieges. Marvel at Istanbuls ingenious cisterns, some as big as cathedrals. Discover how everyday life in cities was transformed by tunneling deep beneath their inhabitants. Be there as a great tunnel is constructed underneath the Swiss Alps, testing human ingenuity to the maximum. Elegant ancient underground waterways, mining for spectacular natural treasures, amazing underground rescues, uncovering the secrets of the Universe... all this and more in the Mastering the Underground World volume of Amazing Underground Secrets.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
