Essential improvements
Patches
- Patch 1.0.2 (Mac OS) is a very important patch, fixing a crash issue in the single player mode in the third level.
- No patches have been released for the Windows version.
Playing on modern systems
- This installer should get around an issue related to the game not installing on 64-bit operating systems (English release only).
- The software rendering mode appears to be most stable and compatible of all three.
- Direct3D renderer looks best.
- The 3dfx renderer has black outlines on transparent textures and will fail to render some of the laser obstacles, but they should be fairly easy to detect and avoid.
- Be sure to edit the controller configuration in
controls.txt
after installation.
