Key points
- Can be run under ScummVM.
General information
Availability
- A demo is available of the EGA version.
- Digital versions are pre-configured with ScummVM.
- Digital versions only include the VGA (CD) version, which has scenes cut and removes dynamic music in favor of fully voiced Redbook audio. They do not include the audio drama (which was included as a cassette tape with the EGA version and as an extra CD with the VGA version), nor do they include the EGA version (which is the author's preferred version).[2][3]
Essential improvements
Official patches
- The MT-32 Upgrade is required for Roland MT-32 playback in the EGA (floppy) version (otherwise Ad-Lib is used).
