Runtime Error When Starting Game

Use a ddraw wrapper from an old version of WineD3D for Windows.
Go to the WineD3D archive page and download WineD3D version 1.7.52. Extract the files ddraw.dll, libwine.dll, and wined3d.dll from the archive. Go to <path-to-game>. Move ddraw.dll, libwine.dll, and wined3d.dll to the game folder. Notes The files from WineD3D version 3.9 may work with certain processor and GPU combinations.

Unable To Install Game On 64-bit Windows Due To 16-bit Installer Being Unsupported

Manually extract the game data.

Go to the Universal Extractor page and download the Universal Extractor. Using the Universal Extractor, extract the files from DATA1.CAB to a location of your choice. (The location you choose will become the <path-to-game>, though the folder can be moved anywhere you want at will.) Follow Running The Game On Modern Windows Operating Systems to create the registry keys required to run the game. Follow Runtime Error When Starting Game to wrap DirectDraw for use on modern Windows operating systems. Notes This does not bypass copy protection; the game will still check for a disc and will refuse to run if the disc is not found.
