Thank you! I have VGA Planets on a floppy disk with license but if something works better now-days I would love to attain it. Is that the PCC2 version you were suggesting I install over my VGA Planets?

Use whatever client suits you best. If you're happy with your original VGA Planets, go for it. You can easily install multiple clients in parallel and try them all.

I suggested PCC2 because that's the one that gets most updates nowadays, and because it runs on most PCs without needing emulation. Its playing style is similar to the original VGA Planets clients (planets.exe, Winplan) but with many extensions. Be aware that this server runs PHost (not the original VGA Planets host). PCC2 has support for PHost built in, for other clients you will need PHost's VCR player to watch battles.

This is a testing version.
It may be incomplete, and have more bugs (or features) than the public live version at planetscentral.com.
