FreeCraft - A free fantasy real time strategy game engine
(C) Copyright 1998-2002 by The FreeCraft Project.
Distributed under the "GNU General Public License"
It is a clone of the real-time fantasy strategy game W*rCr*ft II.
FreeCraft is platform-independent and runs currently under UNIX or Linux
or BSD or BeOS or MacOS with X11 or console or any Win32 (Win95, Win98,
WinME, WinNT, Win2000) with the explicit exception of Windows XP.
FreeCraft is distributed under the GNU General Public License , only version 2!
Since FreeCraft doesn't provide graphics, sounds and documentation,
you'd need the original game so FreeCraft can extract the necessary
files.
The BNE version is currently not supported, you must own the old DOS
version.
(With over 1 million sold copies this shouldn't be a big problem)
Alternative you could download free media (sounds and graphics) from the:
http://FreeCraft.Net/fcmp/ - FreeCraft Media Project.
The newest version of FreeCraft (formerly known as ALE Clone) could always
be found here:
http://FreeCraft.Org - A free fantasy real time strategy game engine.
The development is coordinated with:
SourceForge: Breaking Down the Barriers to Open Source Development
