Key points
- The Network Edition needs a fix to work on modern systems (see Network Edition Interoperability Patch).
- Original Windows versions work well on modern systems (see Installing on 64-bit versions of Windows).
- Original Windows versions run windowed and can be resized/maximised to make full use of any modern resolution.
- The GOG.com release is the DOS version in DOSBox so has a fixed resolution and many limitations.
