Warcraft II on Your Pocket PC
"Wargus is a Warcraft II Mod that allows you to play Warcraft II with the Stratagus engine, as opposed to play it with the original Warcraft II one. The end result is that Warcraft II is now running on VGA and QVGA devices. While it'll start happily on a QVGA Pocket PC, you need to do the following to get it up and running in VGA mode..."
The details are a little fuzzy due to language barrier issues, but this is quite exciting! I have fond memories of spending many, MANY hours playing Warcraft 2, and it would be amazing to get this on my Pocket PC. Can someone with German language skills explain what we need to do and post the instructions in this thread? As a side note, I've been emptying out my office for a big eBay/garage sale, and among the only old games I kept were Blizzard games such as Warcraft, Warcraft 2, Diablo, etc. So I'm ready to rock - someone just show me how. :rock on dude!:

According to pocketgaming.de, you just have to download this file, copy it to your memory card and extract it. You'll also need 19 MB of free RAM.

I have tried it, the exe file simply does not starts. (I have the original WC2 files and about 26 mb free ram...) Maybe the qvga does not works on wm2003se?...

Wargus itself is a bit buggy, the PC version that is. They're not quite 100% feature complete too. However, this is still great for the project, and for PocketPCs.
Starcraft is also possible via Stratagus, too.

Yeah!! I got it to work on my 2215. All i did was download the file that Eastwood posted, and the one that is on the site and i converted it to a zip file for faster transfer. I then transfered it to my PPC, extracted it and clicked on the Stragus icon and it worked. I would not suggest playing this unless you have a good VGA pocket pc, and i do not know the fix for it. The view is horrible, very small on QVGA, no sound, and very hard to use a game that uses a mouse with a stylus.

How very cool, I'm still waiting for an offical WarCraft II version to come out. I liked how AOE turned out and hope that Blizzard would do the same.
