Decipher.com downloads

Decipher.com offered a range of downloadable files for the Star Wars CCG and Decipher's other games: chat software, desktop wallpapers, QuickTime movies, Shockwave contest puzzles and RealAudio and RealMedia webcasts. It also offered printable card lists, rules and tournament forms in PDF and text format. Many of these files survive in the Internet Archive; the Palace chat installers do not.
