I used to have MFSX Gold way back but my copy of that was damaged & people are asking way too much for MFSX Gold so MFS 2004 A Century of Flight was my only option other than Steam. I'm not a big fan of Steam as I like to have a disk copy just in case.
It installed fairly well aside from a few missing sceneries which didn't effect the game much. There was a problem I was having when I first tried to start the game. It wasnt the games fault it was a security update from September 2015 on Windows 7. It was the update KB0386255 that was preventing me from launching the game but after a few adjustments to the settings & a quick uninstall of the faulty Windows update it works pretty well. Only crashed on me once.
For what it is, it's allot of fun. You get to chose between 25 aircraft including 2 helicopters & the famous wright flyer that made the first American documented powered flight at Kitty Hawk. You get to fly anywhere in the world which is one of the best parts of the game. Although it is a tad glitchy & graphics are a bit dated but the assortment of aircraft & the whole world at your computer makes up for it.
My copy was used & open. The case was slightly ripped but fixed with some clear tape. There were few very minor scratches on some of the disks but it didn't effect the games Installation or performance at all. Shipping was pretty fast to. The condition is understandable considering this game is used roughly & 12 years old. But with Steam games & other game companies looking to go diskless its getting harder & harder to find CD copies of older computer games.
The price was right to. I only payed a little over $20 for my copy. Other idiots are charging almost $200 or more for MFSX Gold which is strong on robery if you ask me. A game like themis for around $20 is a real bargain & definantly a more honest price. People overvaluing CD copies of old games are just looking to make money off of suckers. I don't care of it's unopened don't mean it's worth $200 or more, not even to a collector.
