This is Daniel from amiga-news.de. Was about to write a little article for our website and just wanted to test the game before under Windows 10. But it fails with the message written above. So, one thing you forgot to mention: what hardware/software is required to run the game?

Thanks. And apologize: I have not found a contact address.

Hello Daniel,

first of all, sorry for the delay, I did not checked this page in the last weeks.

Thank you very much for the request, it is good to hear that my home project has such an impact :) Regarding the issue: did you tried the pre-built binary from the release? What hardware/software environment do you exactly have.

Speaking of the hardware, it does not really have huge requirements, as a retro gamer and developer I don't really have a strong computer, now I use a 4th gen i3 with a GeForce GT 720, but it is compatible with any video cards which supports OpenGL 3.3 or later.

Thanks for your reply! Frankly spoken, I am a little bit confused about my laptop... My device manager tells me that I have installed an Intel HD Graphics 3000 - which is only OpenGL 3.0 capable, which could be the reason for failing in starting your program - and a NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX which would meet your requirements.

I have additionally started dxdiag which only shows the Intel. So, this is probably the reason...?
