Issues unresolved

Game doesn't work on any modern OS's

By default, the game is confirmed NOT to work on Windows XP, 7, 8.1, 10 and 11, and the following things can happen:
  • On modern OS's, the game crashes in No-3D mode.
  • On some systems, the video hangs.
  • Without any modifications, the game is isn't easily made portable due to the registry dependencies.
  • The debugging flags are disabled, making crash-deterrence difficult otherwise.
