GameRanger works splendidly.

Super-points if someone has Metal Fatigue and can hook me up with an iso!
I adored Metal Fatigue and I do have an iso or something on my old computer back home, I'll pick it up next time I'm back but not sure how close I am to breaking the Forum's rules on pirating and stuff. It is abandonware after all.
If you know a way to get it to run on OSes later than 98, I'd love to know how. I couldn't get it to run on XP or Vista.

It "runs" on my Vista, but one graphics mode crashes the game(software, I think), the other(OpenGL) causes the screen to start screwing up once you get into the actual game.

I wish I knew of a fix, though. It is pretty fun.

Well, it did "run" on my XP, the GUI just never got properly rendered. And I seem to recall it crashing, as well, if I tried to play anyway.

As for Vista, I have the same problems as Akura.

Jeez, I'm MADE from old games. SW:GB, including clone campaigns. AoE: Gold Edition. Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic (okay, so it's TBS... but I'd like to find people to play xD). Warlords Battlecry. Mech Commander 2. I also play a few newerish ones like Star Wars Empire at War, its expansion, and the RaW mod for it. Anyway who wants to play any of these, just hit me up.

Likewise. Add me on GameRanger if you want to do a match or two (or tell me what to torrent here first). My username is "(IMP) Edio" for now.
