Issues fixed
Running the game on 64-bit Windows
Although the game installer is 16-bit, the actual game is 32-bit. There are two ways of running the game:
#1: Run the game directly from the disk
| Running the exe from the disk[citation needed] |
|---|
|
#2: Manually install the game
- This also allows the game to no longer require a CD to use
| Setting up the game manually[citation needed] |
|---|
