INSIDE MIDWAY
Welcome aboard the USS Midway, the longest-serving U.S. Navy carrier of the 20th century. This renowned carrier began her distinguished career in 1945 and was home to more than 225,000 sailors over 47 years. A city at sea, she continually served at the tip of the sword in America's defense.
The USS Midway, officially designated as CV-41, was commissioned shortly after the end of World War II. Initially built as an aircraft carrier designed for both attack and support missions, her size and advanced technology for the era made her a formidable presence in the United States Navy.
Throughout her service history, the Midway participated in numerous notable conflicts and peacetime operations, including:
The Vietnam War, where she conducted air operations that were crucial in supporting ground troops.
The Gulf War, serving as a critical platform for air strikes against Iraqi forces.
Humanitarian missions, providing aid and support during natural disasters in various regions.
The carrier's capabilities were constantly updated to meet the needs of a modern navy, incorporating advanced technology such as the Catapult Assisted Take-Off But Arrested Recovery (CATOBAR) system, which allowed for the launch and recovery of aircraft in a more efficient manner. The flight deck of the Midway was bustling with activity, resembling a small city where sailors operated, maintained, and launched aircraft on missions of vital importance.
Within her vast hangar bay, you could find a diverse array of aircraft, including:
F-4 Phantom II: A tandem two-seat, twin-engine, all-weather, long-range supersonic jet interceptor and fighter-bomber.
A-6 Intruder: A carrier-based attack aircraft designed for all-weather, day-or-night missions.
EA-6B Prowler: An electronic warfare aircraft that played a significant role in suppressing enemy defenses.
Harrier Jump Jet: Known for its vertical take-off and landing capabilities, which provided unprecedented flexibility in operations.
Aside from her military capabilities, the USS Midway served as a critical training platform for many sailors who went on to serve in other capacities within the Navy. The carrier helped facilitate the development of numerous skills vital for naval aviation and warfare strategy, thus shaping the careers of countless service members.
In 1992, the USS Midway was decommissioned but her legacy did not end there. In 2004, she was opened as a floating museum in San Diego, California. Now, visitors from around the world can explore her deck, view the extensive collection of naval artifacts, and take part in interactive exhibits that illustrate the life of sailors aboard the ship. The museum serves as a reminder of the sacrifices and dedication of those who served on the Midway, further cementing her status as a vital part of American naval history.

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.
