Issues unresolved
Game doesn't work on any modern OS's
- By default, the game is confirmed NOT to work on Windows XP, 7, 8.1, 10 and 11, and the following things can happen:
- On modern OS's, the game crashes in No-3D mode.
- On some systems, the video hangs.
- Without any modifications, the game is isn't easily made portable due to the registry dependencies.
- The debugging flags are disabled, making crash-deterrence difficult otherwise.
