You'd also need a new reviewer, since Alumiun is kind of busy.

A modified version of the game, fully compatible with modern systems and with literally hundreds of cards added directly from the CCG (originally it had 500 or so).

So does that mean that this game will never be available on Abandonia? I'm sure the protection has long since passed and I don't have the first clue about torrents. Please make it available here. Pretty please?

Since this request is approved (it's in the "approved requests" board), the game could be made available on Abandonia as soon as we get it reviewed.

Well I would review it for you with pleasure - if it will run on my Win XP machine (I do have DOSbox on here, but I'm not sure how well it runs). Unfortunately my DOS set-up machine is not currently in the same country as me. At least I am willing to give it a shot if you could let me have the game for review.

Thanks! I just sent you a message with a private download link.

The game seems to be for Windows 95. It has to be quite possible to run it in XP, probably directly. Otherwise, if you have problems, we can help you at the troubleshooting board; I recommend to take a look at this guide first of all if it doesn't work directly from XP. At least with Virtual PC it should be sure to work.

I've noted down the reservation over here for bookkeeping.

I am heavily recommend to get modified version of game. Otherwise you'll get in 2 problems very soon: somewhat erroneous card overlay (text hints are missed) and restriction for screen resolution (game supports only 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768. Any other resolution, and you'll run into errors in deck editor mode).

But, on the other hand, only original CD-version have interactive tutorial written on Macromedia Director (and it doesn't work on systems newer than Win98).

If you insist to use original version - install free Application Compatibility Toolkit from Microsoft and found ACT patch for MtG. It must fix both mentioned problems on Win98.

Actually, it's not exactly right.

There are two games in one: tournament mode (pure CCG) and Shandalar (strategy game, based on same CCG). And when tournament was expanded, and still expanding very far, Shandalar stays the same in terms of cards and gameplay.

But it is, of course, modified to playability too.
