German version

The original German retail release is version 1.3 (whereas most current English version is 1.2). Quality of German text translation is so bad that it makes game mechanics incomprehensible. German retail release is censored. The Steam version doesn't include German. The GOG release includes a German version, and this one is completely uncensored - however, its texts are even more broken.[4] v1.1 and v1.2 versions were separated in an update from April 25, 2025.[3]

Essential improvements

Patches

Patch 1.2 fixes various bugs; the GOG.com version already has this patch.

Notes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 File/folder structure within the installation folder reflects the path(s) listed for DOS game data. For the GOG.com release, file changes in DOSBox are redirected to <path-to-game>/cloud_saves/ even if GOG Galaxy is not used (this folder contains all redirected files, so some files in the cloud_saves folder might be temporary files or other files that do not contain saves or settings).
