Microsoft Releases Allegiance Game Source

Zenin writes "Microsoft has graciously released the source code to Allegiance for free on their site. Allegiance was released back in 2000, and rated the 'Best Game No One Played' by GameSpot - this little- known multiplayer space-combat/team-RTS was pretty innovative, yet never took off in the mainstream. Nevertheless it quickly developed a fanatical following - a dedicated community who reverse engineered the game to enable complete mods, expand server power, and much more. A million thanks to Joel 'solap' Dehlin and the rest of the Allegiance development team for making this happen!"

Best Game Nobody Played for a Reason.

It didn't work.

I installed on all the machines in the house. The only thing we could figure out that we were doing wrong was that we didn't have one permanently open port at our firewall, and we were unwilling to do that for a game.
