LOOOOOL I like it when stuff like that still works
Speaking of old mp services, I *think* that Sony's Champions Return to Arms servers for the PS2 are still operational...

Time to play some Master of Orion 2 using TEN 😜

Meh, all people are playing the crappy DOS version on emulators.

Hehe, funny you should mention that... I just logged in to WC the other day, as it came with the Westwood Monopoly CD. Yep, I too was the only one in there 🤣!

That being said, IIRC WC is simply an mIRC chat client, and it connects to Westwood's IRC channel.

I remember back in the day when we (Team Eternal / TeamTNT) was migrating away from the CompuServe Action Games forum's chat rooms for our meetings, over to IRC. For some reason (my memory eludes me now) I didn't want to install mIRC, and I found that I was able to connect to the TeamTNT IRC channel using WC 🤣! 😀

I don't remember how I did that exactly, but I DO remember connecting to the channel like that 😀

The multiplayer servers were taken over by a 3rd party. Not just Tiberian Sun either.
