I've not used the MP shell in probably 6 to 7 years so I have no idea.

Since Atari owns the rights for MoM... have any group of gamers tried requesting Atari to release a MoM expansion pack which works on the operating systems of today? Also emphasizing we don't need 3D high resolution graphics. I think a little effort from Atari would make lots of gamers happy and Atari would recieve a little money plus a good chunk of respect.

There have been attempts, the most notable being Stardock. Atari wanted more as much for the IP rights as it took to develop Stardock's latest title, Elemental.

You can download a DRM free version here, I think it's only at 1.31 but you can contact the site owners and request they find the 1.4 patch.

Atari really gave Stardock a hard time in the negotiations wanting really weird conditions, it gives the sense that they really just want the title to die. Of course Atari isn't noted for its business sense.

True yesterday, not true today. Gog is now shut down. Quite a bummer.

Wow, that's too bad. I purchased several games after you mentioned them a few months back, including MoM just recently.

Luckily enough you seem to be allowed to re-download the games you've purchased. Check GOG.

they did not shut down, they just ended their beta phase (and their humor sucks)

Alright I've done some researching and found what appears to be a better multiplayer version: http://www.roughseas.ca/momime/

Any singleplayers can use this update as well which provides many more game options... such as larger maps.

A few tips... the armies and cities button don't appear to work with the unofficial 1.4f update, however right clicking on either of them from the main map works.
