A few days ago I linked on the forums a blog post about old RTS games, and in that blog post I also talked about Settlers II. I linked to the new open source project, but didn't offer explanation because I couldn't install it.
I now found out how to do it, so for the Settler 2 nostalgics who want to replay the same game from 1996 at a higher resolution, smoother gameplay and on multiplayer with their friends,
scroll down on this article.(the last subtitle) Read and follow the instructions. Enjoy ;)!
Anyway, that is your blog?! it looks very nice i must say, though, i don't understand the hating on SC... SC is arguably the best (definitely the most commercially successful) rts of all time, and you totally dismiss?
edit:
oh wait, it seems to be in a playable beta 5!
I considered writing about starcraft is useless. Everybody knows about it :P.
@Huntey: Is that some kind of Sims?
