For some reason, I thought WarCraft II didn't run on Vista. Maybe it's because I noted previously on my old CyberClub page that Vista didn't support IPX. Actually I never tried to run it.
But Libert called me tonight. He's back in Hawaii.
Got me to google WarCraft II and Vista and found there's a version that works on Vista. Available at war2custom.com. Don't feel like I'm pirating it because I already have like six legitimate copies of War2:BNE.
Downloaded and tried it and it runs on Vista. I think it's best launched by running War2Launcher. Didn't try to play with anybody. Apparently the only server that works is the Russian server.

[10/14/14] Supposedly a few people at Blizzard were working to get War2 working on the newer operating systems (I assume Windows 7 and 8). Well, it's been almost a year since the article.
