minus-squareJcbAzPx@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·5 hours agoThe original game was 16 bit and won’t run on modern systems. It had to be remade. If you want the real thing you’ll need a VM running XP.

minus-squarecaseyweederman@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up2·51 minutes agoIt’s a port! A native port! There’s gotta be a word for that. True port maybe? It was fully decompiled and recompiled for this released.
