-- Video creator notes --
I had to buy this one off of eBay to get a working copy. I'll upload both an ISO and MDF files for archival purposes to my download link. The MDF file is the full game including the audio track for playback as an Audio CD.
While the game seems to work on newer operating systems, the garden maze just won't load. The game fades to a black screen and never goes back.
This is why I had to play the game using PCem and Windows 98.
