Whereas the first "
Panzer General " targeted DOS, "Allied General" was made for Windows. "Allied General" and "Panzer General for Windows" (an update to the DOS version) utilize a pop-up interface and share an underlying file system that differs from the original "Panzer General". Fans created a version of "Allied General", based on its own DOS version, that borrows interface features from the original "Panzer General". Called "Allied Panzer General", it includes all scenarios and campaigns from the original, as well as bugfixes.In Germany it was titled "Panzer General II", the real "Panzer General II" was named "Panzer General IIID".
