ORIGINAL: Froonp I think that Software should be Windows 98 SE or first edition, Windows XP Home or pro SP1 & SP2, Windows 2000 Pro, and maybe Windows NT Workstation not sure of this last. How about Windows 2000 Server and Windows 2003 Server ? not sur any cutomers will play on Server systems... Hardware, I think it should be designed with 17" monitors in mind, 19" monitors are quite fewer than 17" nowadays. Remember that your 19" flat is quite similar to a 21" not flat, so you're in reality designing on a 21" monitor. It should IMO take advantage of the latest mouses features such as the little wheel used for scrolling & zooming, and the extra mouse buttons. Do you want people to list their computer configurations here ? Maybe we can send this to you in a PM, as it may be uninteresting to other people ? A simple list like I used to start this thread would be nice. If you want you could send it to me as an email. The Delphi 2005 development package, which I am using to write the code, supports Windows 95 and up. The catch is that some of the older operating systems have these little "oh, by the way, be sure to ..." comments every so often which make me nervous. I will want to have play testers that cover a diversity of configurations to make sure everything runs not only correctly but well.
