Well “back in my day”, growing up as a teen/young-adult in the 1980s, we didn’t have much in the way of computer games. Back then every game was a board game of some type for the most part, and while I did play extensively the more “grognard” hard-core board wargames like just about everything from Avalon Hill and SPI, and Axis and Allies was just another game I got into in my youth which was simpler to play with my friends. There was always something “beer and pretzels” about Axis and Allies back in the 1980s that to this day still attracts me to the game. I’ve recollected (is that a word) and customized my current 2nd-Edition version of the game, and spent quite a bit on extra units, printed game-boards and the like… all with few people to play against, but it’s part game, part collectible, and its fun either way.
Axis and Allies PC, Is it possible to take screenshots?
-
Hello everyone. I’m wondering if anyone knows how to take screenshots of the computer game? I’m planning to do a A&A webpage, and this would be most useful to explain strategies.
-
The closes thing I can think of is actually using a camera to take pictures, as there is no in game function do take screenshots.
-
There are several progams out there that let you take screenshots most of them emply the function of the print screen butten to save the screen as a image file.
-
Thanks for the help guys. I think I’ll go search on the web for some of these screenshot programs, Superdave mentioned. I’ll tell you guys if I found a easy way to take screenshots.

I know ALT + PRINTSCREEN worked for FF7, try it with Axis and Allies.
-
Ha I never thought U’d find a use for those extra buttons. What does scroll lock, break, and sysrq do then?
-
I downloaded this program called HYPERSNAP-DX4 which takes screen shots of games using Direct X. I works really well, except the stamp it puts on each image if you are using the unregistered version.
-
Pressing Control + Break will stop certain programs which are in an infinate loop from going on, and crashing your computer. I’ve used it a lot with faulty tests of Visual Basic programs.
-
Darn! I wish I knew that. It could’ve stopped me from reseting the vombuter when I write loops in C++ programs.
-
Hey, anyone know when the PC versions of Europe and Pacific are coming out?
-
Not any plans to make them at the moment. Personally, I think those are mediocre games, they’d have to change them significantly to make them computer games.
