I found these postings on google today and was suprised and relieved to find an XP patch for my all time favourite game, Machines!Thank you Suskiss for finding the patch and sturreal for posting it on your site. I unpacked it into the machines folder (got original cd's) and it works a treat so far. Although I tried battle/fortress and it goes to Defeat in about 5 seconds.
I was about to install Dual boot with win98se and XP but thought I'd have a look to see if I could find a patch first. Saved me all the hassle.
My son and I used to play regularly online with MS Zone until they removed it. When I got a new PC and XP I found machines wouldn't run.
Would we still need another patch to play online PC to PC?
And would anyone be interested in doing that?
