GUNMAN CHRONICLES
They're back and they're more deadly than ever! Five years ago, human colonists and settlers on several worlds were besieged by an infestation of Xenomes -- bugs, slugs, worms and worse. It began with military outposts, commercial mining outfits, and scientific expeditions in the far reaches of unexplored territory.
As time passed, closer settlements on established colonies in planetary systems like Luyten, Sirius and Procyon were destroyed, with the human inhabitants either killed or forced into captive breeding. Thousands of settlements in the Cygnus star cluster met gruesome fates; Guyute, Lalande and Pegasi fell victim as well. The invasion of the creatures was (and still is) relentless!
And, now, scientists are astonished to discover that each new wave of Xenomes seems to be genetically enhanced. The infestation has to be stopped before all of mankind is threatened by this creeping plague. It's time to hunt the bugs down and find the source of the infestation, eliminating the threat at its very core. Who or what is behind this menace? It's time to go kick some butt!
You are in outlaw country, stationed at the rim of the galaxy in a far-flung, supposedly bug-free outpost in territory known as the Western Spiral of the Galaxy. Just days ago, your team was searching a planet for a lost contingent of scientists. To your horror, you witnessed the ship your General was commanding get sucked into the maw of a giant creature. The remnants of your corps turned tail and ran, breaking the time-honored code of never abandoning fallen comrades before determining with certainty there were no survivors.
Licking your wounds from the aborted foray into the wilds of Banzure Prime in which hundreds of team members were killed or, at the very least, digested whole by giant worms, you've now received a new assignment. It's a chance to avenge the dead and recover your honor. Just two days ago, an emergency beacon, emanating from an uncharted planet near Banzure Prime, was detected. And, you're heading up the team of Gunmen being sent to investigate.
Gunman Chronicles, developed by Rewolf Software using the 3D Half-Life engine, features four worlds with diverse environments, hordes of mutants and an arsenal of weaponry. The latter initially includes a knife and eventually encompasses laser pistols, shotguns, mecha (altered sub-machine) guns, a plasma electrothermal Polaris Blade, chem guns and the multi-purpose M.U.L.E. -- multiple unit launch engine.
Not only will you face more than a dozen variations of Xenomes and mutated creatures during your adventure, you'll also encounter renegade humans (Gunmen turned outlaw), mechanical enemies such as drones and robotic combat forces, prehistoric dinosaurs, and human scientists and engineers -- some friendly, some not. Published by Sierra Studios, Gunman Chronicles features environments ranging from dust-bowl frontier lands (Planet Icnus) and techno-wastelands to jungle worlds filled with deadly predators and Mayan-like architecture and underground strongholds.
This first-person action shooter supports 3D acceleration, although its use, while recommended, is not mandatory. Multiplayer action is available for up to 32 players via a LAN or the Internet (32-bit service provider) and modem play is also supported. Ready to strap on your guns and rid the galaxy of this horrible plague of creepy-crawlers? As the box states, "It's High Noon in Deep Space" and you're the sheriff. Now get out there and start blasting!

For Windows (32-bit Systems) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']
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.
