Issues fixed

Game refuses to boot up on modern hardware[1]

The game will refuse to open when executed on modern Windows OSes, mainly 8, 8.1, and 10, to fix this, right click the game and click on Properties, go to the Compatibility tab and select Windows 98/Me, click Apply, the game should run properly afterwards, if not still, ensure that the game has the correct files which can be obtained through the official website.

Game is lagging both in menu and in-game[2]

To resolve this, while the game is open press Alt+Tab then go back, the game should run on its normal speed after.
