Version 2.5.3 which notifies user to reduce monitor color setting, instead of immediately quitting. Complete set of color and black & white icons for armies and player types. Minor cleanups to rules and main map in this version. B&w and color version.
This is the same game as its predecessor, 'Risk' from the same author, just patched to display a colored game field. Risk II (version 2.5.3) still runs on Mini-vMac, too).
The second file archived above is a Toast image of the game Risk II for Macintosh computers. Can be played in Mac OS 7-9, or the Classic environment which is included with OS X.

Replaced torrent with a link to the CD image
This must be the variant who adds the "II" to its name.
Lots of multimedia crap. But some people like that I guess. To each his own...
371MB for Risk ? On CD ok, but what does it have that this one doesn't ?
I don't think the "real" name of this game was Risk II, actually. There was an original unauthorized free RISK game that later got patched and altered by several people to run in color, etc. and one of those variants had the "II" added to it. I've lost track of which variant was which, and which one exactly is posted here.
ADD: I've changed the name simply to "Risk." Anyone who wants to add the later CD-ROM "RISK II" is welcome to do so. Don't forget there is also MacPlay's "Risk Deluxe" on this site.
There was another game called "Risk II" released in late 2000, basically Risk with better graphics and features. But it would've been too big anyway, right?
A Risk port for Mac OS X called iConquer:

Calling about the external download link which isn't intended to be this game entry:

No, I was surprised about the long URL name, and you're right, 'Risk II' is long enough for this title, maybe it could be named as 'Risk II (Shareware)', compared to the other commercial Risk title, 'Risk Deluxe'.
Speaking just for myself I'd rather see simple titles and just archive the different versions together with info in the description detailing what is there. I've only uploaded separately or with version numbers when the versions are radically different or more than the upload limit when together.
Is it necessary to have "(b&w and colored version)" in the title? I myself am not sure, I could go either way, what do you guys think? I'm just worried about URL's changing if the title's changed in the future (though there is a fix for this). If you think it's better to have it, then please leave it.
