Review
Two Thumbs Up Inspirational and absolutely fascinating By Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel, Siskel and Ebert Ebert: The documentary, Mother Teresa, goes a long way toward explaining why this quiet, simple old woman has become on of the most loved and respected people in the world. For one thing, we find out in this movie, she's not so quiet and simple. She comes across as an intelligent, determined and sometimes very funny woman who was born in Albania. ..What I saw in this film was a woman who is not only idealistic and, must I use this word, saintly, but also very practical and a well organized person, a natural leader whose vision is so clear and concentrated the she started an international movement with almost literally no financial resources. Big business could study this movie for lessons from Mother Teresa in organization and management.Siskel: At one point she's talking to some of the people working for her. She says to these young peple, "If you don't have that zeal, pack up and go home. Not need to stay". I mean, she could be Lee Iacocca talking to the Chrysler plant.So you see the full woman here. You see tragic scenes of her helping people, reaching and touching the people that no one else will touch.We both appreciated the documentary on the amazing life of Mother Teresa, an inspiring story, a well made documentary about one of the most chfaritable spirits of our time, Two Thumbs Up. --Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel, Siskel and Ebert
RIVETINGTerrifically moving and convincing By Vincent Canby, The New York Times The film, "Mother Teresa" was made by Ann and Jeanette Petrie, sisters who produced and directed it as a team. They honor their subject without turning her into a sentimental icon. The film offers biographical materialbut mostly the film is about the woman today, and these sections are riveting, disturbing and occasionally funny. With all of her apparent innocence and serenity, Mother Teresa has a firm unstoppable willThe Mother Teresa discovered by the Petries is no vaguely motivated do-gooder. She's a woman of formidable, awesome faith, which is at the root of everything she does even when she's receiving an honorary degree from Harvard. "Many people," she says at one point, "mistake our work for our vocation. Our vocation is the love of Jesus". Unlike those who are irresistibly drawn to Mother Teresa as a media figure, the Petries appreciate her priorities. --Vincent Canby, The New York Times
MARVELOUS Successfully moves the spirit and lifts the soul By Daniel Ruth, The Chicago Sun Times Five years in the making, "Mother Teresa" is a brilliant documentary. This is not just a study of an individual's struggle against poverty, hunger and sickness. It also is a reminder that in this terrifying world, goodness and hope remain for all of usDuring this 81 minute film viewers will get to know not just a symbol of virtue, but also a real human being capable of stubbornness, political savvy and engaging humor. ..The film "Mother Teresa" follows the nun, troubled by a heart condition, on her many travels around the world. She is shown meeting with world leaders, crossing a battle zone in Beirut to help trapped children, and cleaning out a building for the order in San Francisco. The film "Mother Teresa" deserves whatever accolades it receives. --Daniel Ruth, The Chicago Sun Times

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.
