Cheers guys, I'm glad you found this useful! Just in case the site I linked goes down, I'm going to attach the DOS/Win3.1 driver archive which contains the game fixes here.

Probably better off creating one under Magrathea and seeing how much it's used before creating more. Not sure if a vogons name like "Slartibartfast" or "Magratheans" or something boring like Development https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/31/SlartBartFast.JPG "My name is not important..."
