Multiplayer games with Microprose PC game

[wilkat]

I have the original PC version of Axis and Allies, but have never been able to start a multiplayer game over the internet.  Has anyone had any luck?  or was this fixed in the Iron Blitz version?

Im sorry to break this to you… but both those aformentioned games are totals busts for multyplayer since XP destroyed it with compatibilitie issues. Your only hope is triple A or having all computers using windows 98 second edition. Iron Blitz gets even worse. Atari axis and allies is an unspeakable abonination of all time. Another hope is to get Philips CDI player and play a better AI than Hasborg editions. Enjoy. :mrgreen:

Fortunately, Imperious’s information is incorrect.

We have a very active club playing the Hasbro/Microprose A&A online at http://www.axisandalliesworldclub.com .

The Microsoft Gaming Zone recently dropped A&A, so we now play at the WarZone– http://home.centurytel.net/khb/aa/WarZone.html .

We have addressed the XP incompatibilities Imperious mentioned, as well as some other bugs in the Hasbro game, with a patch that can be downloaded from http://home.centurytel.net/khb/aa/ .
