Scream Team Training is an addictive romp intended for wee players from ages 5 and up, but just like the movie it's taken from, the humour and energy transcend the age gap and you'll see this game being played by as many parents and older siblings as scream giving kiddies. Those looking to collect Monsters Inc. paraphernalia should consider this a must have.
Here's your chance to grab an entry job working for Monsters Inc., a fictional otherworld corporation where monsters collect the screams of human children as a fuel source. The goal is to reach the same kind of career as Mike and Sully, the company's top scare collectors and make a living by sneaking into the bedrooms of small kids and scaring the screams out of them. There are ten positions to master within the company, from working the mailroom and cafeteria to watching the day care and monitoring the door transfer system. Each is a mini-game in itself, made up of 30 difficulty levels and a fun mixture of eye/hand coordination challenges and humourous quips.
The game features many cut-scenes designed to play out as extensions from the movie. Each was created with Pixar's cooperation and new voice tracks from original and replacement actors. These are pre-rendered and the resulting quality is better than what you'll find in most PC games. They work well to link all of the mini-games together into the story of a company undergoing on-the-job training, from the opening orientation sequence with Roz (Mike's administrative bane in the movie) to pre-game instructional sequences with the entire cast (including Gorge, the octopod mail clerk).
Each of the games is backed by a jazz-romping soundtrack where saxophones, drum snares, and a piano tap and pounce about in goofy pleasure. Each game has its own theme and you'll be hard pressed to find better game music. It's energetic, it's crazy, and it's not repetitive enough to bore itself into your brain.
Each of the games are simple by design, but complex by nature. In the mailroom for instance, you use your mouse to sort an assembly of packages into slots by shape, number, and colour, a process that is given a confusing bent by some of the slots having the same marking. Some of the packages can be of a toxic nature and you'll need to blow them up safely in a "blow up bubble" while others will be need to be stamped and sorted out. There's even the occasional clump of bubble wrap thrown in for good measure.

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.
