Compatibility notes

There are 2 game files. The smaller (ca. 158MB) ZIP has a .toast image of data track, the 427MB ZIP has a complete BIN/CUE image. This last one contains an official soundtrack in CD-Audio form, but cannot be easily mounted in SheepShaver, if you have a physical Mac, you can probably burn it on a CD for it or read this article: https://www.macintoshrepository.org/articles/37-i-downloaded-something-that-contains-bin-cue-files-how-do-i-mount-this-under-mac-os-9-

If you mount .toast image with Toast, the game still won't start because Toast has the bad habit of making mounted images writable and omitting files which don't have parts of it in filesystem. If this image is mounted with Virtual CD-DVD Utility (https://www.macintoshrepository.org/1616-virtual-dvd-rom-cd-utility, I tried 1.0d3 version) it works well.

During installation, QuickTime may not be installed if you're on Mac OS 9, because it's included.

Emulating this? It should run fine under: SheepShaver
