Eye) employs innovative scientific methods, such as fingerprint analysis, to unravel the city's most perplexing mysteries.

The series is filled with clever plot twists, delightful humor, and intriguing nods to historical personalities that enhance the viewing experience.

Inspired by a series of television films drawn from the mystery novels of Maureen Jennings, the engaging Murdoch Mysteries: Series One charts the captivating cases of Toronto police detective William Murdoch during the late 19th century. Murdoch (Yannick Bisson) embodies a blend of scientific advancement and deep-rooted faith, utilizing groundbreaking techniques such as fingerprinting, blood-testing, and trace evidence while closely collaborating with his department's pathologist, Dr. Julia Ogden (Hélène Joy). Operating under the watchful eye of Inspector Brackenreid (Thomas Craig), an experienced officer who values Murdoch's results, their dynamic showcases the evolving landscape of technology that leads to the innovations of the 20th century, such as radio and television. Murdoch's spiritual perspective enriches his rational approach, as he sometimes seeks guidance from a medium (Maria del Mar) to uncover clues, integrating his ethical beliefs into solving cases in a complex world.
The first episode in Murdoch Mysteries: Season One serves as a fantastic introduction to all 13 episodes in this collection. "Power" follows Murdoch as he investigates the circumstances surrounding a woman's death during a demonstration of alternating-current electricity by a direct-current power company. His inquiries lead him to the fascinating Nikola Tesla, the remarkable innovator behind the AC motor. In "The Glass Ceiling," Murdoch's scientific methods are put to the test against the more traditional tactics of Inspector Brackenreid, who finds himself at the center of a connected murder investigation. "Elementary, My Dear Murdoch" delightfully pairs Murdoch with one of his inspirations, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, whose interest in spiritualism adds an intriguing twist to the investigation. Doyle reappears in a subsequent episode, "Belly Speaker," adding further layers to a case involving a ventriloquist. "Bad Medicine" presents a thrilling tale of a masked archer targeting individuals at a brain study clinic, featuring mysterious and suspenseful elements. The final episode, "The Annoying Red Planet," takes a daring leap into the extraordinary, exploring themes of crop circles, potential alien footprints, and sightings of unidentified flying objects, creating an exciting crossover into the territory of The X-Files.

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.
