There was a sequel too but it is even less known.
What kind of madmen spend money translating a game to Italian and not English or Spanish?

This guy made his own install of the game, that apparently works on windows 10. Not tried it myself, though.
Whaaaaat! This game has been sitting on my computer for about 20 years because it was hailed as a legendary classic back in the day.
But I have never mustered enough energy to make it work.
The last time I tried to run it, I had to install a virtual Windows 95, under that install MSDOS, hunt down all the drivers, and jump through a bunch of hoops.
This is incredible news!
Did it work?
Initially as a charm. I'm excited. However, I didn't test saving and loading yet. The readme says something about shutting down Win95 prior shutting down DosBOX, else it messes the save games up.

It sadly doesn't exist in English, only in Slav languages, French, and German.
In fact I bought one of only two remaining copies of the German version off Amazon a couple years ago because it wasn't available online anywhere!

Here's the German version for anyone interested: https://www.mediafire.com/file/omvxdcfbw8mwqqt/Weird.Wars.Operation.Pantherauge.iso/file
