Star Trek: Armada II (PC CD) (U) Platform: Windows 98, Windows 95 Condition: Pre-Owned/Used in Very Good Condition This Title Also Available As: New: Brand New and Sealed games available Please get in touch for information on these options. Pre-owned games supplied with applicable serial keys. However - please note: Any single use keys or activation codes may have already been used/redeemed. Product Information 30 single player missions and 30 multiplayer maps More ship classes New facing-based damage system 3D ship formations with up to 16 ships For 1 player or more over Internet or LAN Product Description Real-time strategy Star Trek: Armada II is poised to continue the success of the Star Trek franchise with the addition of true 3-D combat and a host of new innovations. The action again takes place in the Next Generation universe, but this time the Romulans have been dropped and the line up of playable races has been honed down to Federation, Klingons and Borg. Armada II 's story unfolds through these three separate single-player campaigns. Through 27 action packed-missions, players battle against the Cardassians, Romulans, Borg and the deadly invaders from Fluidic space, Species 8472. Each race has its own distinct play style, weapons, ships and base facilities. Star Trek: Armada II promises to add a number of new strategic options and enhancements to the original game. Maps are bigger and better and there is a new Tactical View in which you can watch the Klingons "let slip the dogs of War" in 3-D. The sequel also features an extensive range of multiplayer options, including up-to-eight-player competitions over LAN and the Internet where gamers can play as the Federation, Klingons, Borg, Cardassians, Romulans or Species 8472. Several additional multiplayer game types will also be available including variations of Capture-the-Flag, King of The Hill, and Co-Op style gameplay. Review Star Trek Armada 2 is the follow-on to real-time strategy game Star Trek Armada. This time, though, you are up against the mighty Borg as they try to assimilate the Federation and all that stand in their way. Fighting your way through 30 huge levels, you won't have too much time to learn how to use the new 100-odd craft and base objects that Star Trek Armada 2 has to offer, and to help you, Activision have introduced a new formation tool so you can now control your fleet more effectively in battle. The graphics are similar to the first and show the vastness of space, dangerous nebula and incoming spacecraft to a high standard. The menu system is easy to get the hang of for those venturing into this style of game for the first time. If you're looking for multiplayer options Star Trek Armada 2 caters admirably and you can have up to eight players at once across the internet or local network. Die-hard Star Trek fans will have plenty to smile about, while space RTS fans however might find the graphical interface sometimes difficult to appreciate and might be better sticking to the likes of Homeworld or Command and Conquer. That said, this is a commendable follow-up to the original and should give you hours of entertainment. -- Jason Denwood

Star Trek: Starfleet Command III (PC CD) (U) Platform: Windows XP, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows Me Condition: Pre-Owned/Used in Very Good Condition This Title Also Available As: New: Brand New and Sealed games available Please get in touch for information on these options. Pre-owned games supplied with applicable serial keys. However - please note: Any single use keys or activation codes may have already been used/redeemed. Product Information Real-time strategy game set in the Star Trek universe Large-scale, real-time, ship-to-ship combat and in-depth story missions Streamlined interface, plus improved ship management and manoeuvring Ship customisation and the ability to recruit/improve officers For one or more players over LAN or Internet Product Description Review Take to the planes of space once more with Star Trek: Starfleet Command 3 for the PC. The game, which continues on from the popular Star Trek Commander series, allows you to pit your wits against the Klingons, Romulans and occasional Borg in this real-time strategy battle fest. Set before the latest Star Trek Next Generation movie-- Star Trek Nemesis --the Klingon and Federations alliance has become awfully close--too close for the liking of the ever encroaching Romulans. And so with the chance of peace on a galactic scale, the Romulans want one thing and one thing only: war. Playing all three races, there is plenty of depth for both the RTS fan and Star Trek aficionado alike, and with an array of weapons, shuttle craft to control and scanning to be done, this game will soon eat a couple of hours without any thought. Graphics and sound are similar to the previous incarnations, meaning this game will easily run on a low-spec machine. Meanwhile the standardised inclusion of multi-player options, quick skirmishes and campaign-based levels shows that Activision is still offering plenty to play within the game. If you are a hardened fan of the Star Trek genre, then this game will certainly be for you. Yes, there is less choice than in previous versions, but somehow this comes across as a good thing. For the real-time strategist, it offers something different, with plenty of time to manage weapons, ships and entire fleets -- Jason Denwood

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy - White Label (PC CD) Platform: Windows 95, Windows 98 Condition: New Other versions of this game available from us: Platform: Pre-Owned/Used: Very Good Condition copies available Product Description Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is the first and only Star Trek flight simulation game that enables players to captain the original USS Enterprise while interacting with actors from Paramount Television's Star Trek. The setting is Starfleet headquarters in the Presidio, San Francisco, CA, where hopeful cadets are trained to become Starfleet officers; the goal is to navigate successfully through over 20 missions and graduate as a Starfleet officer. Academy life isn't easy--it's filled with subplots, internal politics and decisions that will impact not only the player but his cadet class and Starfleet itself. Among the cadet's teachers are Captain Kirk, Chekov and Sulu, who will help guide and teach the player what it takes and means to be a Starfleet officer. Star Trek: Starfleet Academy allows players to command 4 classic Federation Starships (including the USS Enterprise) in combat against 30 3D real-time rendered spaceships from a cloaked Klingon Bird of Prey to a Romulan Heavy Cruiser. The game combines an adaptive artificial intelligence, cutting edge 3D graphics and real-time flight simulation/action play to create a truly galactic Star Trek experience.

Star Fox Adventures (Players' Choice GameCube) Platform: GameCube Condition: New Other versions of this game available from us: Platform: Pre-Owned/Used: Very Good Condition copies available Product Information Explore a vast 3-D world lush in forestry, animals, puzzles and adventure Use a mystical staff to fend off enemies and cast a variety of spells Battle enemies with an intuitive targeting system that locks combat action Traverse land and water or fight through space using Fox's trusty Arwing fighter Build clever strategies to defeat huge boss enemies Technologically advanced graphics with Rare's fur-rendering techniques and lavish effects In-depth, life-like voice-overs and an atmospheric musical score For 1 player Product Description After piloting the Arwing starfighter in the first two Star Fox games, Fox McCloud touches down on Dinosaur Planet for his first adventure outside the cockpit. Many missions still involve the aerial Arwing combat and dogfighting that the sly Star Fox series is known for, but the game pumps up the variety by allowing you to explore on foot and use magical attacks. Armed with an enchanted staff, Fox will be able to battle against the mutated dinosaurs led by local tyrant General Scales. But not all of the planet's dinosaurs are enemies; Fox will also team up with the prehistoric Price Tricky. As Fox jets across the skies or traverses the vast planet on foot, his showdowns with the planet's enemies offer an action-packed gaming experience. Review Fox McCloud is back, but he's left the on-the-rails shoot-'em-up larks of his previous two games behind--this all-new Star Fox adventure sees the super furry animal in a very Zelda -esque bid to save Dinosaur Planet. Star Fox Adventures is the first, and sadly last, GameCube game from Nintendo stalwarts Rare, who previously created such N64 classics as GoldenEye 007 and Conker's Bad Fur Day. It's their last game for the GameCube because Nintendo have recently sold their shares in the company to Microsoft, which has caused an unholy stink from fans around the world and created even more anticipation for this game. Although the control system is very similar to The Legend of Zelda 's, Star Fox Adventures is no simple clone. It's your job as the mercenary mammal to find all the spellstones that will rejoin the splintered planet and defeat the evil General Scales. This entails much exploring of ancient temples and completing of sub-quests to help everything from Yorkshire-accented woolly mammoths to pterodactyls who've lost their babies. The game may lack the epic scale and endless invention of Zelda but it has plenty of new ideas of its own, including a fully interactive dinosaur sidekick, some cool shoot-'em-up sections in Fox's spaceship, and lots of ways to upgrade your magical staff. To add some icing to the cake the graphics are absolutely amazing, particularly the super-realistic fur effects. So don't feel down that Rare are leaving, just enjoy their parting shot and let it whet your appetite for the new Zelda game coming from Nintendo in 2003. -- David Jenkins --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (PS) Platform: PlayStation Condition: New Other versions of this game available from us: Platform: Pre-Owned/Used: Very Good Condition copies available Product Information Unleash the power to defend the Trade Federation battle droids. Use wits to overcome puzzles and outsmart your foes. Explore beautiful lands. Interact with hundreds of characters. Product Description Turmoil has engulfed the Galactic Republic. You have been called to set things right. In Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, use the Force--and your wits--to overcome challenges at every turn. Interact with hundreds of characters as you search for the clues that will defeat the Trade Federation and their evil plot. The fate of the galaxy is in your hands, Padawan. Don't blow it. Take on the roles of Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, Queen Amidala and Captain Panaka. Solve dozens of challenging puzzles suitable for novice and veteran action-adventurers. Your choice of weapons includes lightsabres, droid stunners, Naboo blasters and Force Push powers. Travel to the exotic locales of Episode I--from the majestic cities of Naboo, to the denizen-filled streets of Mos Espa, to the bustling skylanes of Coruscant. Battle hordes of enemies including destroyer droids and the evil Darth Maul. The captivating non-linear story line lets you engage in side quests that will take you through the film-and beyond. Review As the room fills with poison gas, you and Qui-Gon race down the hall and stop in front of five Trade Federation droids. Your lightsabre hums to life as you and your master block and reflect the hail of blaster bolts, leaving the offending droids in pieces. As your enemies grow to seemingly hopeless numbers, you extend your hand in a Jedi force push. Again all that is left are fried circuits. Leaping over chasms, destroying droid armies, saving entire planets is all in a day's work when you are a Jedi. And we all want to be Jedi... right? In Star Wars: Episode I, The Phantom Menace, you assume the roles of Obi Wan, Qui-Gon, Queen Amidala and Captain Panaka as they struggle to save Naboo and defeat the Trade Federation's sinister agents. Exciting battles, terrific sound effects and a true-to-the-movie storyline make this game a treat for any Star Wars fan. The graphics could be sharper, but the overall Star Wars experience is not diminished by this fact. Instead, the gameplay itself takes you away from an immersive Star Wars feel: it's just strange to see a Jedi use a rocket launcher. Most of us would hope that lightsabres would cut through just about anything, but sadly this is not the case--some robots even need to be hit multiple times before they go down. And it's just sad to see a Jedi's progress in an outdoor level blocked by simple shrubbery. Still, like the movie itself, Star Wars: Episode One, The Phantom Menace overcomes its minor flaws to deliver a thrilling experience. --Allen Stewart Pros: You get to use a lightsabre Dual shock controllers vibrate with the sabre's movement Great music video of Duel of the Fates included Cons: Graphics could be better Voice-overs are rather weak
