ON GOLDEN POND
Set against the serene backdrop of a picturesque lake, Golden Pond is a poignant tale that explores themes of aging, family dynamics, and the complex bonds between parents and children. The character of Norman, portrayed as a curmudgeonly yet endearing figure, brilliantly encapsulates the struggles and vulnerabilities that come with growing older. He is a man who often feels misunderstood, especially in his relationship with his daughter, Chelsea.
Chelsea has always struggled to connect with her father, leading to a strained relationship filled with unresolved tensions and emotional distance. Despite her attempts to navigate their rocky past, Norman's stubborn nature often complicates their interactions. Golden Pond poignantly highlights the gaps in their communication, illustrating how unaddressed grievances can shape familial relationships over the years. As the story unfolds, viewers witness the impact of these unresolved issues and the longing for reconciliation that lingers in both characters.
As summer approaches, Norman and his wife, Ethel, make the decision to host Billy, the young son of Chelsea's new boyfriend. Initially, the arrival of Billy brings a mix of trepidation and curiosity for Norman. However, this unexpected familial arrangement unveils a new realm of connection. The young boy, full of energy and innocence, gradually breaks down Norman's hardened exterior and encourages him to embrace the joys of companionship and mentoring.
This developing relationship serves as the emotional core of the narrative. It allows for moments of humor, warmth, and introspection. The interactions between Norman and Billy foster a sense of hope, highlighting the idea that it is never too late to form meaningful bonds. Through Billy, Norman begins to relearn lessons about love, patience, and the importance of cherishing the fleetingness of time.
Throughout their summer together, several themes emerge:
Reconciliation: The evolving dynamics between Norman and Chelsea showcase the possibility of healing and forgiveness.
Generational Gaps: The contrast between Norman’s old-fashioned ideals and Billy's youthful perspective highlights the differences yet also the commonalities across generations.
The Natural World: The setting of Golden Pond itself acts almost as a character, offering peace and reflection, which enhances the emotional journeys of the characters.
Ultimately, On Golden Pond serves as a heartfelt reminder of the importance of family, understanding, and the capacity for new relationships to bloom, even in the latter years of life. It leaves audiences reflecting on their own familial connections and the potential for change and growth at any age.

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.
