Key points

Poor performance on modern machines

Crashes on certain resolutions

On modern systems use "GOG version" (from gog.com), otherways game instalation isnt working

If you can hear sound effect like weapon fire but don´t get any music during ingame (music in menu doesn´t count) see bottom for fix, music is essential for full enjoyment of the game (its amazing and dynamic).
