I love this game and thank you guys for making it available. I did run into compatibility issues running it on Win 10 – it would randomly crash for no reason. I did a little research on this issue and now it’s running perfectly.
Keep up the great work.
Glad that it worked for you Ruin’de 🙂 Some info on our FAQs page that you can use when you found any problems 🙂
Hey,I used to play this game so much when i was in my teens, i go and download it from this site and link and its stating that directx cannot be found, which is weird because many of the other games work no problem and can see that i do have up to date directx. and chance that there was an error with the download it self?
Please try to install the directx via our FAQs page. 🙁

It seems I need a second disk I though this was DRM free? Also for the record I actually did own the cd version of this when I was younger, but lost it.
Thats impossible we tested this and it is working great! make sure you downloaded the game with the provided download link. 🙁
