It's now possible to play it on modern Windows 10/11 if you patch it: https://github.com/Quackster/TonkaReconstruction

Yes people, unless you have Windows 95, this won't work unless you dual-boot.

Seriously, does anyone read? The page says the game runs on Windows 3.1. There's no need to cuss about the game not working either, yeesh. The game can't run on modern Windows versions after Windows XP (No you can't run it in Windows XP compatibility either) because the game is 16-bit, and 16-bit support was cut with Windows 10. In order to play this game you need to run it in Windows 3.1 through DOSBox, use Windows 98-XP, or else it will not run, there's no workaround I'm aware of.

I dont even know how many times I replayed this as a kid, i absolutley loved it, especially the autoshop part and building the castle. Looking at those screenshots brought back memories I had almost forgotten. Gonna try and get it running, even if ive gotta find an old PC with 98 installed on it.

Doesn't work on Windows 10: my computer won't even let me install it, not even with compatibility mode for Windows XP, which it ran on for me before when I first played.
