The Northern Lakes expansion for the base game Trophy Bass 2 adds five additional fishing spots, modeled after their real life counterparts: Lake Winnebago (Wisconsin, at the largest lake in the state), Lake Onieda (New York), Mille Lac (Minnesota), Lake St. Clair (Michigan/Ontario) and Dale Hollow (Tennessee). Additionally, there are new species of fish with bass, pan and catfish: the monster pike, sauger, rock bass, yellow perch, musky and tiger musky (a hybrid).
What could possibly be more relaxing than spending a day out on a boat casting a line into the water to snag a 10-pound largemouth bass? Doing it in the privacy of your den, naturally. With Front Page Sports: Trophy Bass 2, you can catch as much as you want without having to suffer through hordes of mosquitoes or worries about the boat tipping over.
Front Page Sports: Trophy Bass 2 is an accurate simulation of bass fishing, using real conditions, real lakes, and real bass behavior. The fish need to be coaxed onto the hook, and the bait you use will depend on the conditions of the water, the wind, the depth and the local weather. Once hooked, you'll have to battle the fish into the boat. If it slips away, you'll have a much harder time hooking that big one that got away.
For the novice, video help files from a number of top professionals are included to give you some hints on finding fish, which bait to use, and how to bring them in. More experienced fishermen can head straight to the tournaments, where only bass count toward your final total. In a three-day tournament, catching 15 bass in the time limit can be tricky, but it's the only way to have a chance at winning.
Naturally, you have a huge variety of bait to use, and you'll have some that will quickly become your favorites. (I'm personally partial to the hammered silver jigging spoon, the silver and red buzzbait and the yellow salamander.) Each one has its own particular uses. Top bait, for instance, is great in shallow water and when the fish are near the surface. In deeper water, spoons dragged along the bottom of the lake can attract the attention of the bigger fish.
There's really nothing here more than pure bass fishing, but for the devotee, nothing more is needed. Even if you've never baited a hook in your life, you may find yourself becoming quickly addicted to computerized angling. And the first time you land a whopper, you'll be, well, hooked.

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.
