Hm, the author still supports this game. In the time when I pointed a link was available version F.
However actually is available version N.
Too bad that the programmer does not write any news or changelog file.
The main development is indeed done on the creating of the new ports (GL, D3D,...). Anyway, also a DOS specific code is changing.
Other new interresting feature is the editor.

By the way - I tried to run the SDLPetra.EXE under HX-DOS and it worked! But what is interresting, it works in the 16-bit or 32-bit color depth and the renderer is trying to emulate 3D hardware!
So the graphic is antialiassed and textures are filtered but it is EXTREMELY slow. But I was trying it on the P3-400MHz.
Maybe on some modern beast it could be better...
