Questions about this item

Does the downloadable code include the original 1998 game or do I need to buy any physical media separately?

The product is a downloadable Steam code for the 1998 release; no physical disc or additional purchase is required beyond a Steam account.

The listing shows only one model number, 88099 — are there different versions or capacities to choose from?

Only model 88099 is offered; there are no alternate versions, editions or capacity options for this downloadable game.

Will the game run on my PC if I meet the listed minimum of an Intel Core i5 8500, 8 GB RAM and a GTX 1660 graphics card?

Meeting those specifications on Windows 11 satisfies the minimum requirements, so the title should launch and play, though higher settings may need stronger hardware.
