This game was developed as the last project of a
summer course in Java,
given on IDA this summer, 1996. Coders of this 'state of the art' :) multiplayer game are:
So, you want to know what the game is all about?
Well, this link is for you!
You should be aware of the fact that all testing has been done using

History database for each user
Best/Fastests/Slowest/Worst games statistics through all times database
Find a nicer/cleaner map for the map-screen..
The entire game consists of 8066

Feel free to download and use in any way all code you find here, as long as you
mention somewhere in your new application you got it here!
May the realms live on!
