Rebellion (titled Star Wars Supremacy in the UK) is an interesting game. There is a tactical space combat mode, some resource management, diplomacy, planetary bombardment, and other common space conquest elements. Unlike games like Spaceward Ho! or Master of Orion, Rebellion runs in semi-real time (it can be paused and speeded up). Darth Vader, Luke, Han, those annoying droids, and the rest of the crew are all on hand to add some character to the proceedings, and the overall visual and aural style is fine.

There is a vast galaxy of variable sizes (you choose from small, medium, or large), which is composed of sectors that contain numerous planets. The Empire and the Alliance are struggling for control of these planets in order to further the victory requirements: to occupy the headquarters and capture two important enemy functionaries (such as Darth Vadar or Luke Skywalker). The only gameplay option aside from galaxy size is to exclude character capture from the victory requirements, otherwise the goals of every game are the same. Each game is randomized, but that just affects the disposition of resources and planets. The actual pace and format of each game remain consistent.

To fulfill these goals, you build mines and refineries on planets, create fleets, train military units, and set about bringing new planets under your sway by either force or diplomacy. By sending diplomats to neutral planets, you have a chance to bring them to your side without force. If you have enough firepower, you can just go into orbit and bomb them into submission, then send down troops to garrison.

Space battles can either be decided instantly or fought in a 3D view with a certain degree of tactical control. Capital ships and fighters can be given maneuver and attack orders, including formation (left and right hooks, the anvil, etc), stand-off attacks, and other commands that only minimally affect the outcome. No matter what orders you give to units in this mode, the battle always seems to be won by the side with more and/or better units.

ITEM IS: USED - CD IN SLEEVE

WHAT YOU GET:

This auction 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.

SHIPPING:

We typically ship all items out within 2-4 business days after payment is received. In regards to the stated shipping and handling, remember that these costs include more than just postage. We combine shipping and handling, with each additional item after the first just $2 more. Message us for an invoice if Ebay doesn't automatically adjust it.

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 bidding or 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.

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.

Please message us prior to leaving negative or neutral feedback in order for us to help solve your problem.
