There was another DirectX version for Windows 95 reportedly from id Soft over there, but I'm not going to upload it or recommend it. I managed to run it in Vista x64 (LOL!), forcing resolution to 640x480 in the compatibility tab, but the aspect ratio was wrong (presumably because the game is 320x200?), and there was a blank space below the image, and a blinking rectangle surrounding all of it. Oddly enough, when I tried to run in in Windows 95 inside Virtual PC at 640x480, there was no image whatsoever--although the game was running, judging from the sound. Admittedly I didn't try very hard with VPC, I suppose it should be possible to run it.

The DOS version is run like a dream within DOSBox by any modern computer, and then there are the decent fan-made source ports.
