Essential improvements

Windows 95 Restoration Pack

The Unofficial Max Pack 95 Restoration Project Pack adds the Windows 95 version of the game, alongside the DOS version.

The Windows 95 version allows the game to run at a higher native resolution and with higher frame rates. However, it is not as stable as the DOS version (some AMD/ATI cards have issues running it) and has poor multiplayer support.[3]

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  2. 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/282010/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (282010) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
