Serious Sam Gold bundles both of Croteam's hit first-person shooters, Serious Sam: The First Encounter and Serious Sam: The Second Encounter. The games are known for combining modern audio and visual techniques with retro "run-and-gun" gameplay. Take the role of Sam "Serious" Stone to blast through large, Egyptian-themed environments teeming with a variety of weird and grotesque enemies. Stickers not included.

Serious Sam: The First Encounter

The year is 2104 and despite Earth's valiant resistance, alien invaders from another dimension push humanity back to Mother Earth from Alpha Centauri. Sam "Serious" Stone, Earth's greatest hero, is called upon as humanity's last hope and chance for survival. Serious Sam must travel back through time to retrieve an ancient Egyptian artifact that will tip the scales in favor of humanity once and for all.

Serious Sam: The First Encounter follows our hero through 13 levels of Egyptian tombs, temples and towns. Armed with ten weapons, he faces hordes of monsters composed of 19 types of creatures with the sole intent of stopping him. Five levels of difficulty ranging from beginner's Tourist Mode to the expert Serious Mode are available. The single-player version offers in-game quick saves for breaks from the continuous action.

Three styles of multiplayer action include Cooperative, Fragmatch and Scorematch. The first option teams players together to combine forces against the monsters and maps from the single-player game and the second, Fragmatch, is a traditional deathmatch format of kill-or-be-killed, normally associated with first person shooters. The third mode, Scorematch, awards points for picking up objects like weapons and health, killing other players and simply staying alive.

In addition to Internet and LAN options, multi-play includes a split-screen version with up to four players on a single keyboard. After fighting through the single-player missions, creative gamers can experiment with the map and skin tools provided by Croteam to make custom maps, monsters and weapons.

Serious Sam: The Second Encounter

The upstart Croatian game design studio Croteam proved itself to the world with the 2001 release of Serious Sam: The First Encounter, a first-person shooter that bucked contemporary trends of complex mission objectives and intricate storylines to offer traditional, straight-forward, hard-core action. This appropriately-titled second release offers more of the same.

After successfully defeating the aliens in ancient Egypt, Sam "Serious" Stone shanghaied their spaceship and headed for their home planet. While our hero didn't quite make it that far -- instead crash-landing back to Earth, into a South American mountain range -- he did gain the attention of additional alien forces. Now he faces a new onslaught of baddies; wave after wave of evil enemies in need of fast, furious fragging.

For Windows [*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.


  • 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.
