General information
Improvements
Patches
- Patch 1.1
- Patch 1.2 - Changes from the 1.1 patch are included.
- After installing the 1.2 patch music might stop playing, to fix this either make a backup of the audio folder from where game was installed or copy the CD's audio folder, after drop it in the desired path where the game is located.
Optional
Adds support for the P-5 Glove. Do not install this unless you own the glove or it may break your game, it brings no new bug fixes or additions to the game. The user could also search for the missing .dll and download it, meaning that the game would start.

Low Framerates in Recent Operating Systems
Many people experience low, game-breaking frame rates in recent operating systems despite setting the video settings to "Maximum Detail". This can typically be avoided by using the "Custom" settings, and setting all settings to maximum.
