How do I run this in the current year? Amazed there's no word on any sort of port or reverse-engineering.

I was dumb enough to let my parents throw out my win95 PC some time in my late teens.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 22 21:45:14 2017 No.4013267 >>4011808 >what version of wine The latest always works unless it's a new game. It's pretty funny watching people try to complain about wine. It's much much better than actual windows backwards compatibility.

That's cool, just let me install this OS that is totally useless for both my job and about half of the other shit I use my computer for just to emulate the handful of old games I can't run without a VM. Wow, awesome, I can run 5% of the things I want to run without hassle in exchange for the other 95% barely working at all.

>>	Anonymous Tue May 23 12:33:22 2017 No.4014332 >>4010950 Is there a version of WINE for Windows? Everyone seems to be going on how compatibility for old stuff tends to be better than running it straight through Windows itself.

>>	Anonymous Wed May 24 22:48:31 2017 No.4017820 >>4017618 I'd rather exhaust my options before setting up a virtual machine just for one game. Being able to set up a VM (ie. follow extremely basic written instructions) is a really odd thing to be smug about, by the way.

That worked, I skipped over it a while ago because I tried another installation method that just made a broken install. Looks like the game works fine without any need to run compatibility settings or anything.
