Need some help with a game. Everyone please all aboard the waaay back machine. In 1997 there was a game released - and IIRC distributed - by battlefront called achtung spitfire, by avalon hill. Now just so happened the other day I was digging through my closet and I ran across the disk (I tend not to throw anything away, yeah I'm one of those guys). Got me remembering how much I dug it when I had like win 98 on my PC. Anyway I did a google search on it, sure enough there are download links for it. Cool might as well give it a try. This is where my annoyance begins. First the game runs, which is good. Problem is, it's version 1.00. There are links to the 1.05 patch, but they won't run on my windows 7 machine (which is just odd to me). There are links to download the entire 1.05 game on places like CNET but if you attempt to use them, they ask for a login, username and password from:
"Enter username and password for ftp://ftp.battlefront.com"
I tried my forum login, but no luck. Any ideas? Original version of game has some minor bugs which are annoying, but most of all the AI is able to disengage very easily from fights, which was fixed in later patch. Would like to download the 1.05 version, but need some assistance in this area ofc.
