I'll update the review. I guess the reason it didn't work was because I put all of the DirectX 2 DLLs in the folder. Cheers.

Yes, and I'm still considering putting M1A1 and Infinity on the site. The reason this is here first is because this is the actual Windows 95 version, rather than the AlephOne version.

Lol Drinniol launcher. Ironically, in Rubicon (a mod for A1), the Drinniol throw grenades at you.

You tried the DLL to see if it works?

If it does, what about uploading it as an extra so people can download it from here more conveniently?

Actually, that's an even better idea. But yeah, it should work, given that the dplay.dll error was the only one I got. I'll chuck it in as an extra.

How to save ?
When I press the action button on the "save-game computer screen" the monitor just quickly blinks and nothing happens!

You could try using the Aleph One version, which lets you play on newer machines and even add some enhancements. Multiplayer works for me in Aleph One.
