Technical Issues
- This game must be run under DOSBox. Being a demanding 3D game in software mode only, even modern computers have trouble running the game at acceptable frame rates. DOSBox Staging offers significantly better performace.
- Mouse movement may stop working on occasion. Save and restart the game to fix.
