Science fiction meets the real world in the parallel timeline adventure Codename Eagle. In this alternate world set in the 1920s, Russia is the dominant force on Earth, a situation brought about by the acquisition of the throne by power-hungry Tsar Pietre, whose father was assassinated in 1917. Wanting to prove his cunning and might, Tsar Pietre unleashes a devastating Russian war machine on the rest of the world and is well on the way to total global control.

Only one group stands in the way of Tsar Pietre and his quest for world domination -- a covert operation force known as Shadow Command. Established by the countries yet to be subjugated by Russia, this elite commando-style group led by Red, your character, is faced with the challenge of 12 vast missions designed to thwart the spread of the Russian blight by eliminating key targets. Once accomplished, the Russian war machine will grind to a halt and the world will be rescued.

Missions in Codename Eagle start with a briefing that establishes objectives and end, succeed or fail, with a debriefing that contains a varying degree of information. Successfully completing a mission gives you the option of proceeding to the next one or replaying it. The latter option is offered since it is possible to finish a mission without completing all of the specific tasks -- tasks that can lead to acquisition of new weapons or items as well as encountering new characters with additional information.

Codename Eagle combines elements of combat, first- and third-person perspective, adventure and action in a 3D rendered world featuring the Russian landscape of the 1920s. As the Alliance, your arsenal includes ten weapons (knife, revolver, shotgun, sniper rifle, machine gun, grenades, bombs, bazooka, gas gun and flame-thrower), equipment such as tool kits, fuel tanks, skis and time bombs and various pickup items during your mission.

Items include ammo clips, explosive packs, gas canisters, bandages, medical kits, gas masks, armor and flak jackets. A stable of vehicles is available as well, including trucks, tanks, planes, motorcycles, boats, torpedo boats and armored cars. Armor comes in two classes, light and heavy.

The interface in Codename Eagle supports customizable keyboard controls and mouse input. Multi-player action (up to 16 players) consists of three major game types: deathmatch (player vs. player), team play (team vs. team) and capture the flag (team vs. team), all scored via point systems. The game has a maximum limit of nine saved games at any one time. A downloadable strategy guide is available at the Talonsoft website (as of April 2000).

For Windows (32-bit Systems) [*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.
