OMG...I remember playing this board game in 5th grade...

There is an alternative for this game:
Here you can download v.1.8 and connect to an irc channel where you can play with more people.
http://scrauler.irc-hispano.org/juegos/est...o/estratego.htm

See you there.

The language is spanish but you can send and email to scrauler if you want it in your language or change it yourself.

I am having immense problems with getting this game to run on my win2000 pc.

Perhpas someone could give me some advice, or instructions?

E-mail deleted! If you want info: Check back to the site for the reply!

Just run it in DosBOX k: That'll surely work.

Where are the copy protection codes for Stratego?

Just Press Enter, It worked for me!

As much as I like to play this game with my friends, that much the computer version is so lame!

[gratefulmwp]

note that the following keyboard commands works:

I - replay last action
U - undo last move, which in all reality ruins it
CTRL-J - some joystick calibration?
esc - obvious quit game

i brought out the board game for the 5 and 6 year old and they loved it, made the mistake of buying the civil war version at barnes&noble because it is made from crappy wooden pieces that do not stand up nearly as well, a serious F to the fools that processed that one! Anyway... figured i would take a look a the old game here.

I did attack his 1 General with my S Spy and it had no effect and then when he went in to attack my General he died... odd. But silly Undue button allowed me to retract my loss and hunt down the Spy for the rogue he is...

For kids all I need to do is rig a single icon shortcut to the dosbox running of this game and off they go...

Funny how in 2008 a 5 or 6 six year old will be playing what we did as 10 year olds in the 1970's....

And only buy the original stratego -- DO NOT waste time on the Civil War version. I am surprised this thing hasn't been spun like all the monopoly versions -- NFLolopy, Chicagopoly, and all the thousands of marketed versions...

Stratego is a simple lower number beats higher number with maybe 3 specials: spy, miner, and scout. This can be programmed in GWBasic/BasicA like tic tac toe for jr. high kids in their first computer class... ahhh 2008 and still posting on Stratego.

and because i am a moron and love to post immediately note that anytime you right mouse click on the board you get the menu options...

some are hilarious such as switching the graphics -- is that really a stone piece?

Aye, it worked for me too! That's exactly why I jumped back here to find out how to beat the copy protection.
