Summary
Another compilation from publisher Empire Interactive, Classics Collection boasts six of Microsoft’s finest in one affordable package. Here’s what’s on offer...
Motocross Madness 2
Motocross Madness 2 is the sequel to the award-winning Motocross Madness, an action racing game that captures the daredevil spirit of world-class motorbike racing. Motocross Madness 2 improves on all of the killer dirt-bike action, crazy stunts and outrageous crashes of the original game with entirely new gameplay depth, graphic realism, wild stunts, authentic licensed bikes and racing gear, and multi-player features.
Crimson Skies
The flight simulator makes yet another return with Crimson Skies. Based around events before the dawn of the second world war, this particular flight-sim-turned-combat-sim involves the player in a game of intense strategy never before seen in the genre. Throughout the game you will be challenged in locations across the globe, including the likes of downtown Manhattan. You must learn to control your plane with great accuracy to achieve the best results. To help reach the needs of every individual player, you are given the option to create and customise your very own plane. As long as you keep within the specified prices and weight limits, you can choose frames, engines, and even personalise your plane’s paint scheme.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 98
The world leader in flight simulation for the PC pushes technology and realism beyond the horizon. With a global database of scenery and airports, pilot-tested flight models, detailed instrument panels, and a fleet of challenging aircraft, Flight Simulator 98 is simply as real as it gets.
Pandora’s Box
A box is opened. Pieces fly away, and seven mythical Tricksters escape to wreak havoc on the world. Welcome to Microsoft Pandora's Box, a puzzle-solving game that will take you literally to the ends of the earth. This visually stunning journey includes hundreds of the most beautiful puzzles ever created. It's up to you to solve them, capture the Tricksters, and save the world from chaos.
Midtown Madness
When was the last time you got to jump a drawbridge with an 18-wheeled rig? Drive like you really want to in rush hour through the streets of Chicago. Midtown Madness is the first vehicular racing game to render a 'Virtual Chicago', including over 100km of roads, city landmarks, pedestrians, changing weather conditions, a 'live' police system, dozens of shortcuts and hundreds of interactive objects (from working bridges to parking meters). Five types of racing scenarios, including Explore/roam, Waypoint, Blitz, Circuit and Online Cops and Robbers provide hours of gameplay.
Age of Empires
Age of Empires is an epic real-time strategy game spanning 10,000 years, in which players are the guiding spirit in the evolution of small stone age tribes. Starting with minimal resources, players are challenged to build their tribes into great civilisations. Gamers can choose from one of several ways to win the game, including world domination by conquering enemy civilisations, exploration of the known world and economic victory through the accumulation of wealth. Age of Empires was developed by Ensemble Studios and features the expertise of Bruce Shelley, co-designer of the hit strategy game Civilization.
