Appendix 10 - Prices for On-line Services

To play Air Warrior, you need access to one of the Air-Warrior hosts. For that (unless you are running the Mac beta version of the front-end software -- see the "Getting Started in Air Warrior" appendix), you need an account on one of the following on-line services. There are often two pricing schemes: one if you use the on-line service's dial-in modem lines to connect and another if you already have an Internet service provider (ISP) and use the Internet to connect to the on-line service. This second option (use another ISP to connect) can be used by players in countries that don't have cheap dial-in access directly to the on-line services.

America Online (AOL) is one of the cheapest ways to play Air Warrior. An account costs $20/month, or if you connect through another ISP, only $10/month. For that price, you can play an unlimited amount of Air Warrior for no extra fee. Currently, Air Warrior II is unfortunately not available on AOL, so you'll be using only Air Warrior for Windows. AOL's Web page is at "http://www.aol.com/", and its phone number in the US is 800-827-6364.

CompuServe has both Air Warrior II and Air Warrior for Windows available. An account costs $25/month, which covers 20 hours of play per month. There is an additional charge of $1.95/hour for each hour past that initial 20 hours per month. The cost includes access via CompuServe's dial-in lines -- it is not cheaper if you already have an ISP. CompuServe's Web page is at "http://www.compuserve.com/", and its phone number in the US is 800-848-8995.

Earthlink has Air Warrior II and Air Warrior for Windows available. An account costs $20/month, or if you connect through another ISP, there is no base cost. To play Air Warrior, there is an additional cost of $1.75/hour. Earthlink's Web page is at "http://www.earthlink.net/", and its phone number in the US is 800-395-8425.

Delphi has Air Warrior II and Air Warrior for Windows available. An account costs $24/month or, if you connect through another ISP, $7/month. To play Air Warrior, there is an additional charge of $1.80/hour. Delphi's Web page is at "http://www.delphi.com/", and its phone number in the US is 800-695-4005.

The above was written by Brooke in 1997 so the prices will be out of date. Please check the hosts websites to find the current prices. The best host, and probably the cheapest, is GameStorm at $9.99 a month. This gives you unlimited hours and the option to play not only AW3D and AW4W(Classic) but a lot of other games as well. -- Afkamm
