Panzer General Forever--Free

KG_Jag · #1 02-01-2010, 02:18 PM

The goal of PG Forever project is to preserve game mechanics and characteristic look-and-feel of the classic Panzer General, and improve all the other areas of the game: compatibility with modern hardware and Windows versions, UI, usability, multiplayer, AI and customizability of all game aspects.

Veteran players will feel themselves at home with PGF, because it is a very faithful remake. Even the most obscure game rules were carefully researched and preserved to make sure the gameplay is as close as it gets to the original. 99% of the time you will see no difference at all. At the same time, you can enjoy all the new features and benefits provided by the remake.

Here is what PGF looks like now (here and below, click the thumbnail to see the big image).

You can download it here (~12MB):

To play it:
- Unpack the archive
- Run PGForever.exe

That's it. You already know enough to play the game.

Believe it or not I have never played this game...

You should -- a classic.

A really nice version, Bill. I posted one here a while back that was pretty good too, some nice mods, but the interface was not good at all -- mouse scroll was terrible. This one runs very well with xp. Thanks.

You're welcome--I thought that (especially) you and Kent would like this one.

I've never played it either. From the screenshot it looks a little to cartoonish for me.

I played 1 quick game yesterday and it was fun

OMG! Thank you so much Bill!

Has anyone tried the WWI game that came with this or any of the others other than the original game?

Don't know all the details, but Jay mentioned a while back that he had played the game quite a bit--and that it could be tough. He mentioned playing World War II, but don't know if he gave the Great War a spin as well.
