Summary
The Big Red box from Feral Interactive contains four of the best Mac games around, all for a bargain price.
In a typical strategy management stylee (but in the atypical surroundings of a Caribbean island rather than a big city) Tropico posits you as the new director of a small but desirable Caribbean island. From scratch, your task is to build a healthy and happy population of local citizens, while at the same time, earning yourself a substantial amount of moolah.
The story behind Sheep is quite a comical one; need we tell you the possible title for this game were it to feature lemmings instead of our woolly favourites? In this particular game, the sheep were aliens that have forgotten their past in favour of grazing on the rich, green pastures of Earth. But now, the age of electrified fences and pylons threatens their very existence, and it's up to Bo Peep (you) and her canine friends to return them to their home planet, before they all perish one way or another.
What can we possibly tell you about Sports Interactive's Championship Manager series of games that you don't already know? SI make the best, most involving and comprehensive footy management simulations around. Choose a team, get them training, play a few friendlies, and before you know it, the pressure will be on. Players will be dropping like flies, directors will be on your back, and your inbox will be bombarded with (mostly unwelcome) messages. You really can draw a line between footy management games and real life, and it's testament to the pulling power of this genre that folks prefer to spend their leisure time playing the part of a person who suffers the trials and tribulations of something so close to reality.
Finally in this package, the biggest (albeit virtual) bundle of them all is yours for the taking. The quiz sensation that is Who Wants to be a Millionaire? features in the UK version of Big Red Box (the rest of Europe gets Descent 3) and suddenly everyone's crowded around the PC monitor, reckoning they know best. You know the score; answer 15 questions correctly and you 'win' a million.
