INTERNET GAME
C&C95 supports Head-to-Head play over the Internet right out of the box.
In order to play in Internet Head-to-Head mode, make sure you have the following:
1. 28.8 (minimum) modem, ISDN or direct connection to the Internet.
2. Winsock 1.1 compliant TCP/IP stack (included in Windows 95).
3. A valid account with an Internet service provider (ISP) and a valid Internet e-mail
address
4. 16 MB of RAM strongly recommended.
C&C95 will attempt to connect to your Internet provider if your system is configured cor-
rectly. If you are in any doubt, you can initiate your Internet connection prior to loading
C&C95.
WESTWOOD ONLINE
From the Title menu, select Internet. If you have previously registered your copy of C&C95
with Westwood Studios and signed up for an account, the Westwood Online window will
open and you’ll be prompted for your user name and password. If you haven’t already reg-
istered, you’ll be taken step by step through the registration process. Once you’ve registered
and chosen your user name you’ll receive your Westwood Online password via e-mail with-
in a few minutes.
Once at the Westwood Online window you can join various chat “channels” or “rooms”
to talk about C&C95 and other topics with other people around the world. You can also
host or join a game of C&C95 in Head-to-Head mode over the Internet.
