The cd-rom doesn't even want to install.
Tried copying the files directly to the harddrive but a10sim.exe or shell.exe don't do anything, tried DxWnd and dgVoodoo 2 but no cigar.
Probably need to try it in a VM or something. 😒

I played through it a couple years ago.
The 16-bit installer runs via otvdm, but the game itself won't work well natively.
I think it ran briefly with dxwnd, but at like 500% speed.
It runs fine in PCem and Win98 installed in Dosbox-X (I think performance was better with the latter).

Okay, so far I managed to install the game with otvdm but when I start the game in DxWnd I get an error message "New GFXsurface failed".
Tried a couple of settings but it won't get past it. 🙁

Try attaching dgVoodoo2 to it. If it doesn't work you could write about in either of the forums.
