Z (1996)
509 years of conflict between the Megacom Corporation and Transglobal Empires looked set to end at midnight when troops from both sides pulled out from contested territory on the planet Rigal. The move is the combination of a historic peace initiative brokered personally by Commander Keeler and Transglobal's premier, Commander Rieman. Rigal is a traditional favoured posting for the army's least capable soldiers, a place where everyone seems to be getting along just fine. Well not exactly. A cease-fire has been grounded along the DMZ and all personnel are under strict orders not engage.
Commander Rieman, believing he brokered the new era of piece and understanding, is understandably proud. Captain Zod, afraid of spending eternity working security in a two-bit shopping mall has not taken kindly to the notion of a new era of peace and understanding. Following a recent court martial judgement, Zod, hawkish ex-General in the MegaCom Forces, has been busted back down the ranks all the way to Captain. As such, he's been put in charge of the furthest flung outpost in the MegaCom Corporation, a dung-heap of a posting for those robots with zero career prospects.
As for his own men, he loves them like a surrogate family, and regardless of their shortcomings as a modern fighting force, he would do anything to protect them. All is quiet on the border, too quiet. Suddenly the radio crackled into life. It was Brad reporting from Sector 12 that they'd spotted some unidentified personnel in the prohibited zone. Zod, aware that they shouldn't even be running patrols out there ignores orders from command HQ and decides to let Brad and Clarke cross the border to investigate.
An exasperated Lassar panics whilst Zod is confident they won't do anything to jeopardise the peace agreement, as he calls brad on the radio. Nothing. Zod presses the transmit button again, but only sounds of long bursts firing from machine guns, and tracer fire ricocheting all around. Brad is roaring like a bull, the noise of gunfire and explosions is deafening but ZOd's voice can be heard cracking from Brad's radio.

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.
