The version released here is a modified version of EAW1.28 which was originally released by "The Code-Group". It was a further development of the 1.2 exe made under an agreement with Atari, who owned the rights at the time. Both 1.2 and 1.28 allowed the TCP/IP protocol for multiplayer games. For whatever reason this has been removed from the version available from GoG. The 1.28 version had a massively improved multiplayer system which cannot be accessed in the GoG version other that for LAN play.
