WOW. This is fantastic. I just downloaded PG Forever and was playing in less than 5 minutes. Everything looks and sounds great. Thanks Juggalo.

Looks good. Sounds like a ground up project so no feeling guilty about "stealing".

First spin-off which recaptures the spirit of original PG for me, and it works with Win 7x64 on widescreen. This game beats some 'entry-level' Matrix titles hands down in terms of fun and UI design. Well worth to charge money for it, considering there wouldn't be any legal issues.

Bloody wonderful. Now, it might be rock paper sissors, but devs could take a leaf out of Panzer Generals book...both games in there for less than 50MB!! And a kick ass AI...no leadin with arty units [&o]

Here is the link to the PG Forever project homepage. It has a download link to the latest version of PG Forever.

Thanks for starting this thread, Juggalo!

[Q] Is this legal?
[A] The legal status of my remake is similar to status of most other remakes out there. I don't have an official permission from Ubisoft to copy their game, and I doubt I could obtain such a permission. So, de jure my work is illegal.

This is what I was afraid of, and the reason I stayed clear away from it so far.

You're welcome fellas....I'm sure alot of you (myself included), cut their teeth on digital wargaming with this old gem.

Hell, I even remember I almost threw away 700 bucks on one of those crappy Panasonic 3DOs back in the day just to play it!

Also on that site, check out the AdlerKorps forum for a PG2 download that comes complete with the original game, plus dozens of custom campaigns and a data file of like 3500 units! 1.4 GB download though....

Good gaming,
ChadG

It has been so long now, I may just have to re-read the manual again...

I couldn't get my original PG CD to work with vista right.  Went through hell with DosBox and still it never worked too well.

One thing I'd do is use the Cheat Key to increase the number of turns.. that's the one problem, not enough turns to complete the objectives!!
