I dunnot if you are old enough, but generally getting PCs games working at that time was a nightmare. I suspect that it is because it is using ancient version of DirectX/Direct3D. Same thing happens with the classic Resident Evil games.

I'm old enough to have been excited for the release of DOS 3.3. Configuring autoexec.bat, config.sys, or hand-tuning X timings are fond memories of mine. The reason why I picked those examples is because one is a 16-bit executable, and the other is hardcoded to a specific DirectX version for which Microsoft has _also_ stopped shipping necessary libraries. With PlayOnLinux or Proton it's really not any more or less effort, and they run great on an OS that is overall superior for the sort of user who is _able_ to make those games run.
