- recursive 10mo agoIt is not and has never been an AOL game. Unless you were paying by the minute for internet access for multiplayer via Kali.
- rickcarlino 10mo agoI don’t think I was using Kali. Did AOL partner with them? As I remember, I found it via AOL in a sponsored or semi official capacity. There were a number of RTS games available via the AOL gaming channel, integrated or closely aligned with the AOL app.
- nerdix 10mo agoIt was a partnership through a multiplayer service called Engage.

- nerdix 10mo agoYes it was! I just posted a comment about how amazing the warcraft 2 community was on AOL. Couldn't remember if they charged per minute or per hour so you just confirmed it for me. I just remember that some kids were racking up insane bills. I had to play on Zone (and then Battle.net when Battle.net edition came out) but I loved the AOL war2 message boards.
