Hello. So, Windows 10 does not really support 16-bit color depth.

If you want to run the game full screen on Windows 10, check this out: https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...d.php?t=223629

If you want to run the game in a window, I've created a video tutorial showing you how to do that with DxWnd here (be sure to read the video description):

There's another program called DxVoodoo (something like that) but I have not tried that one. Hope this helps you out.
