Is this game worth downloading? It looks like there is a lot of problems!

Only "looks like".

Usually because there is a plentiful supply of people who don't know jack about computers, and using a Compatibility Mode will never cross their skull.

First try running the game normally.
Only if you have problems there you will have to resort to trying the compatibility modes.

Nope, but in the "stars requirement" It says, that you get a "Tower Rating" after you have reached 15000 people and the cathedral. I have never got that rating

When I try to run SETUP.EXE I get the following error message:
"The Win16 Subsystem was unable to enter Protected Mode, DOSX.EXE must be in your AUTOEXEC.NT and present in your PATH."

DOSX.EXE and AUTOEXEC.NT are both in C:\WINNT\system32 folder and it's present in PATH. I'm using Windows 2000 Professional Editon (NT). There seems to be no compatibility mode present in Windows 2000. I messed with windows help file a little and it tells that win95 and later versions are 32 bit softwares and they are unable to run 16bit softwares. I tried to use troubleshooter and it didn't really help. Is there anyway installing it? (I'm pretty sure I can play if I can ever get to install it )

I really don't know if Windows 2k has compatibility mode but I didn't see it anywhere. ( yes, I looked in properties tab). I was well able to play it on XP with my laptop, but this 2K is killing me :wallbash:
