Key points

Poor compatibility with modern systems.[1] See here for fixes.

Availability

Source DRM Notes Keys OS
Retail
Disc check (requires the CD/DVD in the drive to play)
 Plain CD-check (not always). Usually available as abandonware. There is a UK version (with file licensuk.txt) and a US version (which may not work with modern system's patched binary).
Windows

Essential improvements

Play the game on modern systems

Use dgVoodoo[citation needed]
  1. Install the game using SETUP.exe included in the retail CD.
  2. Download the latest version of dgVoodoo 2.
  3. Copy dgVoodoo2 files in the main game directory for Glide or DirectX support.
  4. Launch original config tool.
  5. Launch game using installed link.

Run without CD

Modify the game's shortcut and add -cdrom:X parameter where X is your drive letter[2]
Use custom launcher[3]
Not always necessary.
You extra files or the CD presence itself.
Patched binary has the "\Videos" folder location patched to the game folder. You can copy them manually to use by the game.
Additionally you can copy from the game disk all .MPX files in GameData\World\Sound to the game location (e.g. they're ambient sounds).
