GamesGrid Version 2.0.9

Here it is!! At long last! (You didn't even know it was coming ... :-) ) Anyway, here's your link ... download on!
If you do choose to download and use the new client, you must have or install as a minimum the core of Internet Explorer 3.02 (6Mb) We recommend Internet Explorer 4.0 (12Mb) , but it's up to you.

Note: once you have installed Internet Explorer, you do not have to make this your default browser.

If you're not sure if you have Internet Explorer installed, but want the new GamesGrid client, then download and install GamesGrid, and run it. If you don't get any error messages, then you're fine. If GamesGrid can't find Internet Explorer, it will tell you, and send you back here to download Internet Explorer.

Acckkk - what if I want the old client!

(Released February 2, 1998 - doesn't rely on Microsoft IE.)
