Version differences
Assist
A community-run version of the game, it enabled cross-platform support on modern hardware, along with re-enabling online multiplayer support with a custom authentication server.
An account with Battletracker.com was required to play.
Note that although the game was running an outdated version (2.5, as opposed to 2.8.5), it was modified to be content-equivalent to 2.8.5.
Battletracker was shut down in 2018.
