Key points

This page covers the 2015 GOG/Steam release. The original 1997 PC-CD release has numerous bugs and is in many ways inferior to this updated version.

Improved port combining features of the original N64 and PC-CD releases, with additional features added such as native widescreen support, increased draw distance, optional graphical enhancements, achievements and mod support.

Includes both Nintendo 64 and PC-CD soundtracks; toggleable.

Uses the low quality sound effects from the PC-CD release, rather than the full quality sound effects from the Nintendo 64 version.^{[citation needed]}

Steam Workshop integration (GOG users can obtain some of the mods from this page.)
