The Game
OpenGL Frontier
OpenGL Frontier will work with modern operating systems, has improved graphics, and is simple to install and set up. Tom Morton's site has the necessary links to download the game (with music and sound effects) for Linux and Windows. Simply download the "windows binary" files, extract them directly to your C:\ drive, add the music and sound effects to the same directory, and then execute the "Hi-Rez" shortcut.
