Did the Trick for Me
Not much to say here except that the product came to me in a timely manner, was easy to use, and a great value. Would order again without hesitation.

Armada II: A Blast From The Past
Armada II is one of those Star Trek games that many fans either love or hate, either with passion. I'm in the Love Camp and when I had an opportunity to obtain a copy of the game after my last copy was lost in a move, I jumped at it.
Pros:
The gameplay was as I remembered though understandably, the graphics are a little dated after the passage of time. In my mind, the game held up well and ran great on my Windows 7 machine. Everything that was supposed to be with the game was with the game.
Cons:
It's difficult to find fault with a game that you love, but I'll give it a go. One of the signature faults of many RTS games back in the day were pathing issues, or when certain game units would behave in a way that gets them stuck in certain places on the game map and you can't do a lot about it except ignore it or make a replacement unit. Thankfully, the game AI didn't exhibit a lot of issues that I could detect.
Summary:
In summary, while the game is a little long in the tooth compared to more recent fare, it does hold up for entertainment value and I would highly recommend trying it out as well as checking out the extensive Armada Modding Community whiich has done a great job breathing liffe into it.
