HIGHLANDER: THE NEW WATCHER CHRONICLES (SEASONS I-VI) CD-ROM
The Watcher Chronicles CD-ROM is an extensive compendium designed for fans and scholars of the Highlander universe. It offers an immersive experience through over 500 screens of rich content, meticulously divided into nine distinct books that cover a wide range of topics concerning the Immortals, their Watchers, and the lore surrounding them. This digital archive serves as both a reference tool and a storytelling device, providing deeper insight into the mythology of Highlander seasons I through VI.
The contents include:
THE CHRONICLE OF DUNCAN MACLEOD: This book features detailed journal entries chronicling the life and adventures of Duncan MacLeod, one of the most prominent Immortals in the Highlander series. These entries have been recorded and preserved by his Watchers over the past 400 years, offering a fascinating perspective on his battles, relationships, and growth. The entries not only provide historical context but also emotional and psychological depth to Duncan’s character.
OTHER CHRONICLES: This section contains journal entries related to other Immortals who have intersected with Duncan MacLeod at various points in time. It serves as a valuable cross-reference, connecting interconnected storylines and revealing relationships, alliances, and rivalries. Fans can delve into the histories of both well-known and obscure Immortals, learning how their fates intertwine with MacLeod’s journey.
IMMORTAL LISTS: These books—divided into Active and Inactive Immortal categories—offer comprehensive access to the Watcher’s extensive database on Immortals. Users can explore detailed profiles featuring photographs, biographical stories, and even sound clips that bring the characters to life. This rich multimedia experience adds layers of realism and engagement for users interested in character backgrounds and lore details.
WATCHER BOOKS: Dedicated to the secretive individuals known as the Watchers, these books provide intricate information about the men and women devoted to observing and documenting the lives of Immortals. The Watcher Personnel book gives detailed profiles of these individuals, highlighting their backgrounds, motivations, and roles within this clandestine organization. Meanwhile, the Watcher Assignment History book lets users track which Watchers were assigned to specific Immortals over different time periods, offering a dynamic look at how these relationships evolved.
MORTALS BOOK: Not only does the CD-ROM focus on Immortals, but it also contains information on influential mortals throughout history who have impacted or been impacted by the Immortals’ secretive world. This includes historical figures, allies, enemies, and others who played key roles in shaping Immortal events or adding layers to the mythology.
SWORD BOOK: A treasure trove for enthusiasts of weaponry, the Sword Book includes detailed photographs and information on 35 different swords used by various Immortals. This book explains different sword types, such as broadswords, katanas, and claymores, including their unique designs and historical significance. Additionally, users can learn about the personal histories behind certain swords that have a legendary status within the series, illustrating how these weapons are more than mere tools—they are extensions of the Immortals themselves.
SERIES BOOK: Offering behind-the-scenes insights, this book provides comprehensive information on the cast and crew of the Highlander TV series. It includes biographies, production notes, and anecdotes that give fans a peek into the making of the show, helping them appreciate the hard work and creativity involved in bringing the world of Highlander to life. From directors and writers to special effects teams and stunt coordinators, this section honors the collaborative effort that made the series a cult classic.
Together, these nine books create a multifaceted and interactive resource that appeals not only to die-hard Highlander fans but also to newcomers curious about Immortal lore and the Watchers’ secret world.
Additional Features and Benefits:
Interactive navigation allows users to seamlessly jump between related entries and cross-referenced content, enriching the understanding of the Highlander narrative.

Regularly updated content aligned with Seasons I through VI ensures that users have access to canonical information consistent with the TV series storyline.

For Windows (32-bit Systems) / Mac (Power Macintosh: OS 9 or Below) [*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.
