Issues fixed

Installing and running on 64-Bit Systems

This is for those that have the original physical CD.

Install using workarounds for 64-Bit Systems^{[citation needed]}

Insert the CD.
Copy all the game's files to a folder.
Inside the folder with the game's files, make note of the executable's name.
After noting the name, delete the original 16-bit executable.
Find the file with the same name as the executable, but with the extension .W32.
Rename this file. Delete the .W32 extension and put a .EXE extension in place of it.
If any error boxes come up, say OK.
Run the Game.

Notes

The game's resolution will still be its original resolution with a black border. You can go into the game settings with ESC and change to Windowed mode if you prefer.
