A pity they cancelled itch.io release.

Incredible soundtrack indeed. I'm still in the middle of TW3 playthrough, so will probably play VirtuaVerse after that. Bought it on GOG right away.

Great, I was waiting for XDG base dir support in DosBox for a long time. Switch to SDL 2 is also a major plus.

Quoting: GuestOr a native port (I'm looking at you Cyberpunk 2027)
Looking forward to that. They are already investing in Stadia release, so making a proper Linux release on GOG won't be hard for them.
