I remember having some trouble getting this to work even in XP, due to its ancient Win95 roots. Among other things, it uses a very old verison of Quicktime to play a few pre-rendered cutscenes throughout the game.

So, I'm curious to hear from people who play it: How's the GOG version working? Did they do anything special to help make it work on Win Vista/7?

I didn't encounter any problems during the few minutes I just played on my 32bit Win7 Starter.

I'm running Windows XP and I couldn't run the game due to Quicktime crashes during startup. Updating to the latest version, using "safe modes" in QT preferences etc. didn't help at all. Only after I disabled DirectDraw in dxdiag could I run the game with no problems.
