Doing an old gaming PC build, and I thought I'd mention how to get this GoG release to work on a real Windows 98 install.
Just install it on another PC, copy the install folder to your Win9x PC, and move the following files out of the game folder (or delete them):
- Ddraw.dll (This is a DirectX 9 version GoG added, not supported on Win98)
- Glide*.dll (Various nGlide DLLs, not needed if you've got a real Voodoo card)
If you leave Ddraw.dll it will bark at you because it's expecting a later version of DX9.
If you leave Glide*.dll files, it tends to crash when a mission starts.
