In terms of compatibility with modern hardware, you're better off with I-War
2, but you are missing out on some (in my biased opinion) on some classic
gameplay and an excellent story if you don't play I-War deluxe. I-War can be
tricky to get working properly on modern hardware (It was designed for
Windows 95/98, p90's and software rendering / 3Dfx glide), but it is
possible to play it on a modern PC.

I-War 2 is available as part of Infogrames 'Best Of' value range in the UK
and Europe, not sure about Canada. I-War is quite difficult to find (I-War
deluxe is the best version to get) Probably Your best bet is Ebay.
