Comment (by AndywinXp):

 Thanks, this is very insightful. As a matter of fact, the fact that we
 stated that we support the Windows version is kind of incorrect. When we
 were given the source code by Revolution in the early 2000s, we were given
 access to whatever was preserved at the time: the source code (which at
 its core is DOS based) also contains several Windows specific code; the
 code of the engine is then tied to some OS  specific libraries (to put it
 simply: drivers).

 We were given the DOS version of those drivers, so whichever work was
 always being done, it was derived from the DOS version. As far as we and
 Revoluton know, the folder for the Windows 95 engine drivers has long been
 lost.

 The DOS version used a library called Miles Sound System for audio, I
 don't know about the Windows version, but the high level code controlling
 the level of the various sounds is apparently the same, so I wouldn't know
 what's happening there...

 I'm not saying that a Windows specific reimplementation will never happen
 (this really sounds interesting), but it would involve reverse engineering
 efforts on the executable, so a lot of time and will to do the work.
