Screenshots of the Windows version
Comparison Dos <> Windows Version
- The Windows version uses a higher resolution than the Dos version, which increases the gaming fun tremendously ! The desktop resolution will be used. The Dos version only has a resolution of 320*200. I'm currently playing with the Windows version on a 19" TFT with a resolution of 1280*1024, so you can see a lot more of the playing field.
- Also the DOS version creates other savegames. As well as for the email game (PBM.SV1 and PBM.SV2), as for the normal savegames (GAME.SV*) in single player mode.
- The Windows version uses for normal savegames the ending *.SAV the files for email games have the ending *.EML (in version 1.3 *.PML).
- The different email files between the Windows version can be bypassed by simply changing the endings to match the version, then you can also play with these two versions together.
- You have the possibility to speed up the move of the computer/ AI if you don't feel like watching it. This is done via the menu:
- The gameplay is very similar to that of Allied General, which means that all information opens in an extra window.
