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.

Thanks for all the info guys. I will do what I can and ask if I get stuck.

*Edit - Hi Spectre, I tried getting the modified version, but whilst the download only took 40mins, the seeding has been going on for more than 12 hours, so that doesn't seem a viable option either.
