Is there a trick to running this game? Everytime a window pops up the game freezes; no response to any attempt to close the window, just an endless 'previous' or 'next' go round.

thanks

It's been made for a very early version of Windows.
You can set up Windows 3 inside DOSBox and run the game from there.

You install a copy of Windows 3 in it.
Word of warning: DON'T do it with the root of your system drive mounted as DOSBox' C. Either it won't work, or you'll screw up your operating system.

IMO does a good job describing the game, its interesting qualities and also its fairly obvious faults.

Can someone explain to me please why all the videos and images on the internet of this game are in color, and yet it itself is black&white?
