Program loads then thats it black screen. I played this years ago and love the game, graphics and story. I have a better PC and it no longer works. Very disappointed.

I was just a little kid at the time and was terrible but it was fun anyway. I purchased this version on Steam back in 2020 and could not get it to run on Windows 10 and was very sad about it.
