Makes me wonder if forking Wine to have a "Legacy Windows" compatibility layer... for... modern windows would be worth half a damn.

wine has more backwards compatibility options than Windows itself, but in this project also triggered some different buggy code paths in the original (see cousin comment).

So this game still needed its bugs fixing to run in a modernised Windows, or it would have been stuck in a hardware emulator running Windows 95.
