Yes, you do. We need to split up this topic become server and client side.

Server Side :

At server computer, you need to install :

- J2sdk version 1.4.0 or higher

- Web server application, I recomended to use Tomcat because it's reliable for Java object

- Microsoft Access for database game

- Game package (game.zip), extract it to where you want

Configuration at server computer :

- Folder which is published by web server application is where game.htm was, for example if you extract game package at d:\ then you will find game.htm at : "d:\Game\classes"

- You may need to edit servergame.bat based on where you have installed J2sdk, for example if you installed it at "d:\j2sdk1.4.1_01" then the line is : d:\j2sdk1.4.1_01\bin\java -cp D:\Game\classes ServerGame. If you extract game package at folder d:\ then you will servergame.bat at : "d:\Game"

- ODBC setting use Microsoft Access Driver with name is GameData and database source is GameData.mdb, for example if you extract game package at folder d:\ then you should set database source with : "d:\Game\classes\database\GameData.mdb"

At client computer, you need to do is:
