NORTH AND SOUTH: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION 5-DISC SET

This Emmy Award-winning powerful adaptation of John Jakes' best-seller, starring Patrick Swayze,
tells the story of the turbulent events and emotions that ignited the Civil War. Set against the backdrop of one of the most significant conflicts in American history, the series delves deep into the ideological chasms that existed between the North and the South, portraying not only the battles fought on the front lines but also the emotional battles fought at home.

In the tradition of Gone With The Wind, this glorious epic focuses on the lives of two families, the Hazards from the North and the Mains from the South, who represent the starkly contrasting perspectives that characterized this tumultuous era. The story is rich in character development, showcasing how each family’s beliefs and loyalties affect their lives, relationships, and destinies. Throughout the series, viewers witness the complexities of love, loyalty, and betrayal, as well as the indomitable spirit of those living through the war.

The saga follows the families through their changing fortunes at home and the harsh realities of the battlefields. The narrative is interspersed with historical events, including key battles, political maneuverings, and societal challenges faced by citizens on both sides. The significant detail in the storytelling not only enhances the viewers' understanding of the Civil War era but also evokes empathy for the characters caught in its wrath.

As the series progresses, it captures the evolution of the country leading up to the South's surrender, addressing the aftermath of the conflict and the initial steps toward reconciliation. The families’ experiences serve as a microcosm of the greater societal shifts occurring during this period, illustrating the complex interplay between personal choices and historical forces.

In the final installment, the story of the two families continues through Post-Civil War Reconstruction into pioneer Indian territories. This phase of the story explores the challenges of rebuilding lives amidst widespread devastation and societal upheaval. The characters must navigate new realities, including issues of race, power dynamics, and the ever-present tension between the North and South. As both families work to heal from the wounds of war, they are forced to confront their pasts and the legacies that will shape their futures.

The series is not only a historical drama but also a poignant exploration of the human condition in times of crisis. Themes of friendship, familial bonds, and perseverance resonate throughout, making it a timeless narrative that continues to captivate audiences.

Through breathtaking cinematography and a score that enhances the emotional weight of the story, NORTH AND SOUTH: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION invites viewers to appreciate a rich tapestry of history while engaging with the profound personal dramas of its characters.

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.


  • SHIPPING:

    We typically ship all items out within 1-2 business days after payment is received. In regards to the stated shipping and handling, remember that these costs include more than just postage.

    International buyers please email/chat with us to determine if you are eligible for shipping of a specific product. If you are, then international buyers not shipping to an address within the U.S. can expect their orders to take anywhere from 5 days to 4 weeks to be received, depending on how fast/well USPS is moving. Additionally, international orders typically have to go through governmental customs, which can delay the arrival process. Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges.
