What is FreeCraft?

FreeCraft was formerly known as ALE Clone.

A clone of the real-time fantasy strategy game W*rCr*ft II.
FreeCraft is platform independent and runs currently under UNIX or LINUX or BSD or BeOS or MacOS with X11 or console or any Win32 (Win95,Win98, WinME,WinNT,Win2000).

Since FreeCraft doesn't provide graphics, sounds and documentation,
you need the original game so FreeCraft can extract the necessary files. (With over 1 million sold copies this shouldn't be a big problem)

Alternative you could download the free graphic from the:
http://fgp.cjb.net - FreeCraft Graphic Project.

The newest version of FreeCraft (formerly known as ALE Clone) could always be found here:
http://FreeCraft.Org - A free fantasy real time strategy game engine.

The development is coordinated with:
SourceForge: Breaking Down the Barriers to Open Source Development
