1602 A.D. + Manual PC CD island colonization sim game!

1602 A.D. is set in the year 1602. The Old World is a bleak place--cities are overcrowded, and poverty and starvation abound. You and a small band of voyagers set sail to discover new territories and, hopefully, a new life. You will join the ranks of explorers and pioneers in colonizing new cities, juggling the demands of diplomacy, developing industry, setting up trade routes, and engaging in warfare to save your new civilization.

1602 A.D. utilizes empire-building skills while defense of your lands and warfare are carried out through real-time land and sea battles. Victory can be achieved in many ways, including through the use of trade and diplomacy, by reaching civilization milestones, and even by conquering all other opponents.

Your goal in this New World is to build the civilization of your dreams. Discover, build, settle, trade, and defend your territory--this is the challenge ahead of you!

The game offers real-time land and sea battles, 700 unique islands to explore, more than 90 different building types, and over 30 trades. The single-player mode has seven campaigns, continuous play, or over 40 scenarios with preset missions. Five tutorial games give you the chance to test your skills before you set out on the actual adventure. Multiplayer mode allows up to four people per network or two players via modem and includes over 30 multiplayer scenarios.

Developed by German developer/publisher Sunflowers Interactive Entertainment Software and developer MAX DESIGN, and published in the United States by publisher GT Interactive Software, 1602 A.D. presents a unique blend of classic empire-building and 3D real-time strategy.

The game (known as Anno 1602: Creation of a New World) and its expansion (Anno 1602: New Islands, New Adventures) were published in Germany and the United Kingdom in 1998 and have sold over one million copies worldwide. 1602 A.D. incorporates the original game, the expansion pack, a map and scenario editor, 25 new single-player missions, multiplayer scenarios, new structures to build, new islands to explore, an upgraded artificial intelligence, and much more.

ITEM IS: USED - CD IN SLEEVE

WHAT YOU GET: This auction is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more then 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 Vista 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 Vista 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 Macintosh games, most older games will need to be run in classic mode if you have a newer MAC OS version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work. 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. SHIPPING: We typically ship all items out within 2-3 business days after payment is received. In regards to the stated shipping and handling, remember that these costs include more than just postage. We combine shipping and handling, with each additional item after the first just $2 more. Message us for an invoice if Ebay doesn't automatically adjust it. International buyers not shipping to an address within the U.S. can expect their orders to take anywhere from 5 days to 4 weeks to be received, depending on how fast/well USPS is moving. Additionally, international orders typically have to go through governmental customs, which can delay the arrival process. 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. Please message us prior to leaving negative or neutral feedback in order for us to help solve your problem.
