Essential improvements
Patches
- An unofficial 1.3 patch was on offer at this link in 2006 by two of the game's designers, but the download links were pulled in March 2018. A mirror of the last version of the 1.3 patch, a beta release of version 1.3.7.2, is available here.
- Patch v1.2 was the last official patch the game got, released in August 2000 (available here). However, Activision did not officially support this patch - only the 1.1 patch, released February 2000.
