Here's a link with downloads for the game: http://155384.com/thread-25817-1-1.html At least some of them still work. Also , I shall award one internet to whomever can tell me how to make this piece of shit run without making my graphics driver crash.
I have East Asian languages and set my system to Japanese locale , so AppLocale wouldn't do anything , I think. Also , I am running Vista 32-bit , so I'd use a workaround just to install it. It doesn't seem to be a problem with the non-unicode symbols ; other japanese games on my system run just fine and display properly. My problem is that when I start the game , my screen starts flashing weirdly and I get strange artifacts in the window of the application. Then my screen turns black for a second and when it comes back , my system informs me that my graphics driver crashed and had to be rebooted. Given enough time the game will eventually crash altogether. Though sometime I can glimpse the menu screen for a short time - with proper hiragana.
