If you own a copy of the 1990
Accolade Stratego program and lost your code wheel, this wonderfully
written utility will come in very handy.
It is a Windows program and is so intuitive no directions
are necessary. The author has requested to remain anonymous but is willing to offer it here for your convenience. It is zipped up and will require WinZip or something equivalent to extract the single executable file. Note: The program requires the file vbrun300.dll to be present in your windows/system directory. If you do not have a copy of this file, you may download it here. |

THE GAMES
HALL OF FAME
In 1984, GAMES Magazine created their Games Hall of Fame to honor games that have met or exceeded the highest standard of quality and play value and have been continuously in production for at least 10 years. Once inducted, a game remains in the Hall of Fame as long is it continues to be available. Stratego is one of the games listed in this Hall of Fame. (Currently, the other members are Acquire, Axis & Allies, Blockhead, Bridgette, Civilization, Clue, Diplomacy, Dungeons & Dragons, Magic: The Gathering, Mille Bornes, Monopoly, Othello, Pente, Risk, Scrabble Crossword Game, The Settlers of Catan, Sorry, Taboo, Tribond, Trivial Pursuit, Twister, Twixt, and Yahtzee.) |
