Requirements
To play Mech Wars, only two things are required: a browser and an account. To get an account, please follow the instructions in the next section.
In theory, any browser can be used to play Mech Wars. However, we want our players to have the best experience possible while playing the game, and therefore we will only support the following web browsers.
Netscape 7.0 or higher
Firefox 1.0 or higher
Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher
Opera 8.0 or higher
We are fully aware of the fact that all these web browsers are relatively new, but please keep in mind that this is to enhance your own experience while playing the game. You can play the game using an older version of these web browsers (or another web browser for that matter), but these are the only ones that we have thoroughly tested it on, and can say for sure that game will work on. Older versions (and other web browsers) might not display the game properly, or it might not display it at all.
The following web browsers are directly discouraged to use while playing Mech Wars.
Netscape 4 or lower
Internet Explorer 5.0 or lower
Opera 6 or lower
If you have problems downloading and/or installing a web browser, please contact either the vendor of the web browser, or if that fails, you can also contact Mech Wars Customer Support (see Support for full details).
