Making this game work

Basically there a few problem that needs to be solved :

It's a 16 bit game, so you only can play it on a 32 bit Windows (Windows 95/98/XP/7/10 should work). On Windows 64 bits, you can use a wrapper for 16 bit call OTVDM. The other possibility (not tested at this moment) is to use DOSBox with Win3.1 or Windows 95 installed.

The Audio/Video uses a Indeo codec. This codecs does exist in Win 7/10 but they are disabled by defaut. Some registery (regedit) manipulation can enable it. The other way, you can simply install the Indeo codec. Ligos codec installer seems to work better.

You'll need those 2 DLL files : "dispdib.dll" and "wing.dll". Place them in C:/Windows/System
