Championship Golf2000
Fantastic game, computer graphics outstanding. True swing, I've found" THE BEST" Closest to the real thing.I can't get enough. Just ask my wife!! I'm happy to report I shot a 13 under on your Coeur d' Alene Resort Golf CourseSierra keep up the good work!!!

One of the best on the market
If your looking for a realistic golf game, this is my favorate and most likely will become one of yours. Sure there are some bugs but Sierra has patches that fixed the initial problems I had(one of the reasons I love Serria games). The ability to make your own courses is both fun and challening. The ability to compete in single payler seasons is great fun for single palers. The graphics are great and play is smooth.

PGA 2000 could be a great game - except
I looked forward to the release of this game.However, for those of us that don't want to discontinue the tri-click method of play, the game has slipped the other direction.The tri-click power bar surges - it is not a smooth movement like the past game, making it impossible to control.This takes much of the fun out of playing and under par scores are almost unable to obtain for the higher skilled players (under very good consitions I have scored as low as 58 on one course in the past version). The program crashes sometimes for no reason. The announcer says things that don't make sense more than in the past version. The ball sometimes disappears for no reason - in comparing ball lies on greens during the scramble play mode. Shadows of players and flags change color to purple sometimes - I turned off that function.

Could be the best game out there if the bugs are removed and if the manufacturer releases more sites to play - not just those from wonswap - these often crash during the download process.

If you want to use mouse movement for your swing - this is probably the way to go.

a great game
Please understand that this is my first golf game, so my comments should be understood in that context.I never thought I could have so much fun with a golf game.It took me over two years to convince myself to try one and I don't regret it at all.The mouse swing is fabulous.Instead of having to click on a meter of sorts to guage your shot, you just move the mouse to strike the ball, and it is a very intuitive thing.You pull back on the mouse to begin the swing and then move it forward to strike the ball.On screen the golfer holds the club and follows the mouse movement.You dont have to click the mouse during the swing. The faster you move the mouse, the longer the shot and vice-versa.You have to take into account the wind velocity and direction, and try not to slice or hook it.Very nicely done.

The only annoyance I have is that the game will sometimes crash for no apparent reason.A message will appear stating that the program has performed an illegal operation and will shut down, and the next thing you know you're looking at the desk top.Every time this has happened, I have gone back to the game and I will see a message which states the game was abnormally shut down, and asks if I would like to resume play.I click "yes" and I pick up exactly where I left off.The scores are intact, the hole the same etc.

All in all, this is a very enjoyable game.

Great multiplayer. OK single player.
I'll begin by saying that the multiplayer features are very entertaining.Being able to customize your player's appearance, taunt other players, andwatch players dance around during play is hilarious.

However, the singleplayer game is not as developed as some other golf games I have played. Ifyou try to hit the ball when a player's animation sequence starts, nothinghappens until the animation is complete and then the swing startsunexpectedly. Some of the announcer's comments don't make any sense. Ofcourse, you can turn the comments off. Also, the program crashes in themiddle of a game occasionally. Although a crashed game can be recovered,sometimes the program continues to crash on the recovered game. There areother frustrating areas, but all games have their quirks.

Overall, thisgame is great for multiplayer but, if you're looking for something to playby yourself, you should definately shop around first. ... Read more

Play with no expectations...
Don't expect this to be as good as half-life. However, expect it to be good in its' own way. Nice character models, and a true home-made feel. This was,after all, an add-on submitted by amateurs and submitted to Valve for consideration. Valve recieved hundreds of add-on packs weekly by amateurs and the only one accepted for retail release was this one. A little short, but still a nice and unique feeling universe. Textures are similar to half-life before the update patch. Voice acting borders on good. Creativity is a 4 out of 5 in my book! Nice plot with some real twists. Your stuck on a planet that goes completely haywire and starts spewing deformed creatures at you and your group of fellow space-travellers. Nice openning to a good game with some minor lags mid-way through. However, in the tradition of Half-Life, it picks up steam with a nice scenery and action change and a reasonably good ending sequence. Very enjoyable, even now. As long as you're not used to the eye candy that is UNREAL 2 or GRAND THEFT AUTO : VICE CITY.

great and you dont need half life to play it
This rocks made in the likness of half life this is more like a add on and it has good weapons models with a bunch of mods for firing lots of cool maps yes you can play online you can even get mods off the internet just like in half life for anybody who has played half life get this if you never played half life or its addons get them as well as this you will be hooked to your pc for months for anybody who likes frist person shooters get this and half life if you hav'nt already ...

A challenge for beginners
I first saw the ad for Zeus in an Archaeology Magazine and was curious.So I bought it and found it was real fun but also a challenge.It took me weeks to pass some levels. I took my copy to Venezuela and my sister loved it so I gave it to her and bought another one.Then I bought Great Empires 2 and that had Zeus so I gave my second copy to my niece. So I'mon my 3rd copy of Zeus.It's a game you can't get enough of.

good, But doesnt Master Pharaoh.
Granted i like this game a lot. But some interface controls and other aspects of city building dont master Pharaoh. Like when you wish to trade with a city in zeus you must build a seperate trading post for every city on the world map, which reaches a large number by the end of the game.In pHaroah all you must do is build one dock or just leave you tradable product in the storage yard Also food distrubution doest beat out pharaoh. In Zeus you must create a different store for every product, and it is hard to suply every neighberhood with all it needs. In Pharaoh There is one Food distribution center that sells everything. Another Falt of Zeus Is the difficulty. By the first hour of playing i had a flourishing city. This is fun, but it gets old after a while.Monument Building is easier in zeus, but there arnt as many monumentz s to build, so once you have built all the temples to the olympian gods, you get bored.The last reason Pharaoh masters Zeus is that there is not as much to do as ther is to in pharoah. The adventures can be easily mastered, and after that you have little to do, It lacks a campaign as good as pharoahs. I suggest you purchase pharaoh over zeus, even though both are good games. Pharoah is the greatest i think, city building game in the market as of now.

Zeus Master of Olympus: The Greatest Computer Game Ever!
This Zeus game is awesome!I bought it at Staples for ten bucks and I am very pleased with this game. Your role in Zeus is a Greek city leader.You can trade and fight with other cities, start colonies and receive tribute, build sancturaries to The Gods, call upon heros, like Hercules, to defeat monsters, like the Hydra or Cyclops.You can even make up your own name or choose real Greek names from a Male or Female Roster.ZEUS MASTER OF OLYMPUS IS THE GREATEST COMPUTER GAME EVER!!!

Terriffic
If you are in to Greek mytholagy and you like computer games this is the game for you.You can worship gods upgrade housing and create a strong military.

Zeus reveiw
I LOVE this game. I must say, as a young ...gamer, its easy to understand,the concept of running an anciant civizilation is awsome, and the twist with the gods not only make it interesting but educational. Like I dident ever know that Demeter was the goddess of fertaility and fufillment. How cool is that?
They will so love the game and you will get hours of 'Hey mom, did you know that ____ was the god/goddess of ___________?' or 'Dad, check out this city, see? My cities team even won the yearly Olympian games! Isent that awsome?!'
In conclusion get the game, it will bring he/she hours of enjoyment, and you a life time of 'Hey mom' and 'Dad, check it out!' and these sentances wont end with "'Can I have it?! PLLEEEEEEASE??'". :) Happy gaming!! ... Read more

A few laughs, but soon repetitive and boring
This sounded like it'd be fun.It's funny for a little while, but it's not a fun game.We only played for a few days, and now it's sitting on the shelf.You might want to get it if it's in the bargain bin (<$5) but otherwise, save your money.

NOT THE BEST,NOT THE WORST
THIS GAME HAS CHEAP 2-D GRAPHICS,POOR GAMEPLAY. BUT IF YOU LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW JACK YOU WILL LIKE THIS GAME. THE BIGGEST REASON WHY I DON'T LIKE THIS GAME IS BECAUSE THE GAME IS TO FAST. AND IT'S NONE LIKE WHO WANT'S TO BE A MILLONARE. TAKE MY ADVICE AND DON'T BUY THIS GAME.

FUNNY GAME!
WELL,THIS IS A CHANGE FROM THE MILLIONAIRE SERIES...YOU CAN TAKE TURNS BEATING MONEY OUT OF MILLIONAIRES,THE HARDER THE QUESTIONS ARE,THE HARDER THE PUNCH,BUT MAN! SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS ARE TOUGH,TOUGH,TOUGH! AND OCASIONALLY,IT THROWS IN A QUESTION THAT MAKES ZERO SENSE,BUT MAKES YOU LAUGH! FUNNY GAME,VERY INSULTING HOST. NEEDS A SCOREBOARD.

A VERY FUNNY GAME!!!
This is hilarious. And the game is MUCH more fun than the real Millionairegame. Egregious Phillin, this game's host, is a great parody of Reeeg!

Warcraft Battle Chest Review
(...)I have the II warcraft game and the expansion and I have played the first game several times before.I think that the first game isn't as good as the others were b/c you spend the whole game going through a series of caves w/ monsters in them. The others are basically all out wars, humans vs. orcs and you can pick who you wanna be. Ofcourse, you have to build a city and all that but most of the time you're attacking or being attacked. You have to be quick at the mouse and don't faint when you see blood if you wanna win these games, good luck and have a nice day.

horrible game
this game is not good. Don't buy it if you value your money well.

Warcraft: Orcs and Humans review (First EVER!)
The game itself doesn't have very good graphics, but the sound and music are just fine.There's only one act in the whole game, but the levels are fairly challenging.
There are upgrades and characters that are not found in Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness & Beyond the Dark Portal.It was so easy, I beat the game in less than TWO hours! ... Read more

Disappointing
How I wish I'd read "St. Chris" review here before buying Myst ME! I agree with him/her completely. My big disappointment was the sound, too.I played the original Myst on Macintosh a few years ago -- I just finished Myst ME on my new Mac G4. The sound isn't as good as the original -- it's always at the same level and blasting. But most disappointing of all is the shortened music!Half of Myst's orginal haunting appeal was the soundtrack! If you've got a high-powered Mac, pass on Myst ME -- and pray that Disney doesn't screw up Myst III: Exile for Mac players.

Sadly, not even as good as the original.
I'm one of the most dedicated Myst fans anywhere. I fell in love with the original Myst even before there was a PC version, I've got the soundtrack CD and t-shirts and posters and all the books, I've won trivia contests, I'm friends with one of the programmers...and I just can't recommend Myst Masterpiece Edition for the Mac. I'm sorry to have to say it. Its one arguable strength is the higher-quality images, but that's all it has over the original -- and, surprisingly, sometimes it's not an improvement. All told, it's a jarring step backward.

A brief history: Myst was originally created by Cyan Inc. on Macintosh systems using Macintosh programming tools. It masterfully exploited the Mac multimedia capabilities of 1993, squeezing the highest possible quality out of 8-bit sound (akin to a good AM radio) and 256-color video.

It was later adapted for Windows -- not by Cyan but by Broderbund, who gave their best shot at porting the program but ran into technical limitations: The full-length soundtrack songs were cut short, the scene-to-scene transitions became rougher, the sound effects lost some atmospheric subtlety, and the images weren't quite as good as on the Mac.

When Mattel (then the owner of what-had-been-Broderbund, in the middle of a dizzying series of corporate buyouts) created the Masterpiece Edition for Windows, they based it on the previous Windows version. They used almost none of the master full-length songs and sounds available from Cyan. Nonetheless, Myst Masterpiece for Windows *is* much better than the "original" Myst for Windows, because it has clearer graphics, smoother animation, and the online help system.

Myst Masterpiece for the Mac is a straightforward transfer of Myst Masterpiece for Windows -- a port of an update of a port. The end product does have more-detailed pictures than the original Mac version, using full 24-bit color images. Ironically, these often look *worse* than the original's 8-bit images! In technical terms: Because they didn't have high-end graphics workstations when they created Myst, Cyan had to render the scenes from simplified, relatively low-resolution 3D models -- fewer polygons and lower-resolution texture images. To fit all the pictures on one CD, they downsampled the 24-bit master renderings to 8-bit dithered images, and the dithering added just enough noise to mask the lack of design detail (with the approximate effect of photographic film grain, not at all offensive to the eye). Conversely, the 24-bit images show every little technical and artistic shortcut in stark detail, giving many scenes a pronouncedly less realistic appearance.

Even if you do prefer the greater picture detail, nothing else about this version is an improvement. Some players may appreciate the added help system; in my opinion, it gives away hints too easily. But Mattel STILL didn't go back to the audio source material: The songs are the same clipped Windows versions, so you don't get the whole musical experience. (Until I played Myst Masterpiece for the Mac, I never realized what the PC users had been missing all these years! The songs truly lose their character when cut so short. It's a shocking difference.) The soundtrack audio was cleaned up to remove noise, but it became muffled in the process. And a particularly effective subtlety of the original -- sounds are quiet at a distance and grow gradually louder as you approach the source -- is gone: Now the music or sound effect just comes on full blast, as if someone suddenly cranked up the dial. The wind on Myst Island, for instance, sounds as if it's always about to knock you over, even when you're standing inside a building.

I've played this and the original side-by-side, and I can't believe they call this one the "Masterpiece." The original still looks and sounds superior.

And yes, I've played realMYST as well. The 3D rendering is interesting, but it adds nothing to the game play and substitutes motion (often too rapid, as if you're running all the time) for the carefully-composed, gallery-like still images of previous versions. I still prefer the original.

Welcome Home Myst!
Once upon a time I owned a copy of the original Myst, but I eventually had to replace it. Myst ME was available for Windows at the time, so I committed Macintosh sacralidge and purchased the Windows version. (Thoughany hardcore Myst fan would support this decision.) Myst ME offers improvedgraphics and sounds, and the movies are much clearer in QT4. Theseenhancements promise to only be more evident in Myst ME for Mac, theoriginal OS for this game. If you don't own a copy of Myst or if you justwant to visit again, this is a wonderful enhancement of the classic game,and I highly reccomend it. Anyway, it might be nice to get reacquaintedwith the Myst and Riven mythos before Exile comes out next Spring.(However, if you own a high performance system, you might want to save yournickles and dimes for realMyst due out Q4 this year, featuring real-timerenderings of the Myst Islands and a whole new Age to explore!) ...

Hunting Hunters is cool...Period!
Anyone truly against the idea of hunting would appreciate this game regardless of the gameplay.Innovativeness should be held in equal esteem as asthetics.Hunting hunters is cool in my book and once you give the game a chance it's quite satisfying :)

waste of software
An avenging deer sounds like a cool thing to someone like me who hates the idea of hunting. Unfortunately, this game is slow, one dimensional, and lacking in any challenge. I was wishing for a deer to come along so I'd have something to do. ... Read more

SimCity rules, but Streets isn't what you think
...Now on to Streets of SimCity.This game stinks.The graphics are bad, and though you might think driving through your own SimCity 2000 cities is cool, it's not.The main premise of this game seems to be shoot-em-up driving, though there is a mode where you can just drive.Compared to games like Midtown Madness, it is one of those games that Maxis slopped together and hoped would sell.Rating: 1 star.

Overall: If you can't find SimCity 2000 alone, buy the bundled SimCity 2000/SimCopter pack.Don't even think of getting Streets of SimCity unless you like throwing money down the drain. ... Read more

Good game, not the finest
I remember getting this game a while back when I was younger.The game was difficult to master, which I attributed to my young age, but I loved to play it because of the nice atmosphere it gave; beautiful, fantasy surrounding, pleasant music, pretty landscape (the 3D terrain had an enhancing effect over other strategy RPGs I had played on the PC before).Overall, I enjoyed the game a lot.
Moving back to the present day, I had lost my copy and was itching to play it again, having all but forgotten what the game was like.My girlfriend and I had gotten hooked on Age of Wonders, and I wanted to investigate similar games for her.
I ordered LoM SE on Amazon not too long after.After installing and playing the game for a bit, I was a little dissapointed.I was still the game that I remember, but it seemed deficient in ways I hadn't noticed before.
For example, the graphics did not age well.I can go back and play much older games from my childhood such as Quest for Glory I & II (SCI engine) and still marvel at how beautiful the graphics are despite only 16 available colors and a screen resolution of 320x240.This is double edged, because while I feel that LoM has pretty graphics, they still seem to work out poorly in the long run.
Secondly, I still find the gameplay to be difficult.I'm not a kid anymore, and I have since mastered other fantasy RPGs, but the system in LoM seems a bit awkward and difficult to master.I couldn't play it for more than a half hour.
Overall, I think it's a good game.Even though it's not my cup of tea anymore, I can see that lots of other people really love it, so if you like the genre then I give it a good recommendation.The price tag is very cheap, and it's well worth a grab.

One Of the Best Games I've Ever Played!
As I said above this is a really great game, even though the graphics are not 3-D. I would suggest that if you like 1 minute killing games like halo, then this game would probably not be very enjoying. But if you like Dungeons and Dragons type games, then this is the game for you!If you are a first timer, I have a few tips. Let's say you have a high leveled Thief, Warrior, or Mage. Then you should put that unit in either the Barracks, the Mage Tower or the Theves Guild. Then you wait a couple of turns, and after that look back at the "make unit" and you will see a unit that you can make at a higher level!This is also different from normal Lords of magic because you can customize and create a party. To do that you choose a faith,(Life,Air,Order,Death,Chaos,Water,Fire, or Earth,) and click on custom you should see a setup.The object of the game is to kill the evil mage death lord, Balkoth. But if you are balkoth than you have to kill all the other faiths. (You Must kill balkoth first to be death!) The big deal about faiths is that you like some other faiths, and others you hate. This game has a very, very good AI reation system, making it able to parley, or fight.(Parley means to barter over units,artifacts,buildings and spells.) Oh! And speaking of fighting, you can autocalc, which means the computer calculates the battle. (I like to use this when i'm not sure of the outcome of the battle.) Also I like to save before I fight a high Leveled area.Well, I hope you buy this game, it is a real winner!

DO YOU DARE TO FACE DEATH FOR THE FATE OF THE WORLD?
I first encountered Lords of Magic as a demo and immediately fell in love with this engaging, difficult, sometimes maddening but eminently addictive game.Even in the relatively spartan demo game LOM's strong points were irrisistible:the classic theme of pure good vs. pure evil, the picturesque maps, the enchanting and absolutely gorgeous music (probably the best of any game I've encountered), the multifaceted tactical combat system, and last but not least the game's superb replayability.

Naturally, when I got my hands on the full game I was hopelessly spellbound.My wife might say "hexed"!Be warned:if you do buy this game, be aware you will be investing not only hard-earned cash (though not much--the price is a steal), but huge pockets of your time.This is not only because LOM is great fun, but because it's exceptionally difficult as well.Beating this game is not easy.Be prepared to take your lumps and go through a lot of frustration (albeit fun frustration!) before you finally win the day.

The game itself is strategy-based, and runs on turns during which each of the eight paths--called "faiths"--that populate the world of Urak make their moves.Though the turn system is convenient and offers your character many choices of action, each turn does take a while.Healing and resource accumulation are based on the passage of time, so after a tough battle you will have to sit passively through a few turns to recuperate.Moreover, the map of Urak over which your character moves is pretty big, and it can take several turns just to get from A to B, during which time you may be attacked by wandering monsters or see one of your fortresses sacked by raiding parties.To put it mildy, LOM is not for the impatient!

LOM follows a straightforward fantasy formula:the world of Urak is being overrun by the armies of Death itself, led by Balkoth the Destroyer, a diabolical necromancer who commands huge armies both living and dead and a powerful arsenal of black magic.You the player must choose a champion from one of eight different faiths (Order, Water, Air, Chaos, Fire, Earth, Life, or for those who have beaten the game at some point possibly even Death)and take on Balkoth and his seemingly limitless hordes on as either a Warrior, Mage, or Thief.(I personally usually choose to be a Warrior of Order, since that allows me to fulfill a lifelong dream of being a Paladin or Knight.) Each class of character is different from faith to faith, so the possible characterizations are many and varied.Whichever type of hero you choose, your character starts out weak and unknown and must slowly, painstakingly build himself up in terms of experience, magic, artifacts, fame, money, and military might.This means liberating besieged dungeons and forts and defeating enemy troops or marauding monsters, or bartering with friendly neighbors (of which there aren't many).Battle resolution is fun and plays in real time so there's a lot of variety.Battles do feature a "pause" option if you want to reconsider things and there's also an "autocalculate" button if you want the computer to determine the battle's outcome for you, though it seems the computer often underestimates the player's strength.If things go badly, the "restart" option lets you give it another go, and you may want to save your game often. If--and I do mean if--you meet and defeat Balkoth head-to-head, you win!

Lords of Magic probably isn't for everyone.The slow pace will aggravate those more inclined towards fast arcade-style games, and the fact that you may have to play for several days on end is an understandable turn-off for others.Moreover, the game can get repetitious at times, as you're likely to have to conquer and reconquer the same territory several times and spend an awful lot of game time simply convalescing.And then there's the simple fact that LOM is a very difficult game.Merely staying alive can be a problem, especially if you're ambitious, and actually killing Balkoth may seem like an impossible dream after you've just given your 53rd character the last rites.

But you can win, if you've got the time, patience, and energy it takes.If you do, then I heartily recommend Lords of Magic to you. When you finally finally kill the Arch-Demon of Death, it will all be worth it!

Fire is good
I have had this game for a year, but I have still not beat it. It is tough, but it is a fun tough that you get addicted to. You start the game by picking a class for your champion-Warrior, Mage, or Thief. Next you pick a faith, all with different strengths and weaknesses. You have to fight monsters in caves to build up your experience, and then take your Great Temple. That is just the very beginning. The graphics for this game are not the best considering the games that are out now like Halo and the Matrix, but the gameplay is what keeps me coming back to my computer. I have always liked strategy games and fiction; this game combines the two. I like the turn-based playing system because you don't have to worry about being attacked while your trying to do something like in Age of Empires. Resource gathering and troop producing is more realistic in this game than in any other one I've played. The special Quest are great. This is a game you do not want to use cheats on, because they make the game dumb. I give it 5 stars, the gameplay overshadowing the poor graphics.

so sweet!!
Ilove the graphics,music,the so-so battle,and the nonstop carecters.the fact that u get to be the bad guy(balkoth)after u defeat him the first time is not original but after u play as him everone else just stinks.the weapons are beutifully graphic and magic divercity is unparelel.also that u can command fallowers to mine for u and be trained up to worriors.this is the m,ost realistic medival game i ever played!u even have too summon mages to teach u spells from your library.after u play this game u will know what a pro is and forget the word con from your vocab. ...

Classics from Maxis - give 'em a chance!
Nobody laughed at me when I became obsessed with SimCity in college (wow, that was almost 10 years ago!).They did sneer when I bought SimFarm... and laughed when I became obsessed with it, too.While it does seem a little odd to sit down at a computer and play a simulated *farming* game, it really is enjoyable, and I play it even now!

Here are some basics:

SimCity - this is the classic game, here.Graphics are very basic, not much detailed interaction.If you're looking for micromanagement, go for SimCity 3000 (Unlimited) or the Sims... this is, however, much easier on the hard drive and memory, and it's a good introduction to the world of Simulation games.The grand-daddy of all Sim Games... if you can't get enough of the current crop, at least pay homage to their origins. :)

SimFarm - another classic game, it puts you as the head of, yes, a farm.I know, I know... farming is hard work, why would anyone want to PRETEND to farm!?For the challenge!You have the responsibility to plow your fields, plant them with whatever crop will grow best in your area, take care of them, fertilize, fumigate, etc.If you do well and make money, you'll get house upgrades, equipment upgrades, and you'll get to compete at the local fair!It sounds corny, I know, but I get a great feeling from watching my tiny little sheep, cows, and horses grow up, make their own babies, and then go on to bigger and better things (ha!) after I sell them for a very tidy profit.I love going to the disaster screen and sending my farm a massive cold front, and then reaping the benefits of planting my fields with cold-friendly strawberries.You can even tinker with the futures market - will those frozen berries sell for a better price 2 weeks down the road?Or will the price fall and leave you with only lint in your pockets?

These games are pretty hard to find these days.Buy them here and give 'em a chance.They're pretty cheap, and they won't take up much room on your hard drive.The only thing to worry about is the possibility that your friends will laugh at you for spending an hour or two sitting at your desk *farming*.

Fast delivery
Item was received within a couple of days and was in good working order.

THE BEST GAME EVER!!!
this game is the best game i ever played in my life! the animals are soooo cute. i think you should buy it now!!! when i got this game i thought it looked kinda bad, but when i pllayed it it was the the best game for me. I dont know how they could even make it any better. It gives me something that i enjoy doing and makes it nice to have a computer ... Read more

r/cacing just like the real thing
Being a veteran r/c racer I came across the demo and played it. The way the cars sound and act on the track is the best simulation of r/c racing I have ever seen and, the best part is that its made by traxxas. Traxxas is one of the top dogs in the r/c racing scene.In fact my first pure bred top of the line race truck was a Traxxas blue eagle. The graphics are not the most mind blowing thats out there but if you have ever been in the sport. This game is a must have. I give it a 10. ... Read more

Your Pin Ball can even go on roller costers!
There's the Fun Zone Thril Zone and Main Zone!
The Fun Zone can take you to a nother Pin Ball world to play a game, or just put some stuff on the Main Feild.
The Thrill Zone is were you try and put you Pin Ball on a ride the more you get it on, the more points you get!

My families 1st computer pinball experience
Being the only computer pinball experience my sons and I have-its absolutely fantastic.We've spent hours going against each other for the highest score, most thrill points, brass rings, photo shots and bonus multipliers ect...but as we've gotten better, the faster we get that table moving the more it jams up on us and kicks us off in the middle of a game. I guess the high score now is the highest it goes, because anytime we start to pass it--its gone!I thought it was just the cd worn out but after reading other reviews I'm not so sure anymore and am anxious to try something new now instead of replacing this one as orginally planned.

Great
Living near Hershey Park and liking computer pinball, this is a natural.Sierra does a great job with all of their games.

Cheaper than a trip to the park, and just as much fun. ... Read more
