I got this game already knowing that it requires some tweaking before running, so I was already prepared to read the forums. I found all the necessary tweaks to run the game on a 64 bit Windows 10 with an Xbox360 controller. Of course if you prefer this version to the 1995 version. So here it is.

Notice that none of these are my works, this is just a collection in order to have the fixes in one place. I am really thankful for the creators of the fixes.

For this you only have to download an archive and extract two files in the game's folder. Simple stuff. Here is the fix: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/355250/discussions/0/412447524178213776/

Playing the Special edition with a joystick is a must. If you don't have a joystick at hand, you can use an Xbox360 controller with the game. With this fix you'll have really comfortable controls for your controller. Here is the fix: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/355250/discussions/0/618463446156982733/

First you download the file. The file has a readme in it with the instructions. The ingame configuring is a bit tricky (first you press the button on the controller, then you pick the function you want, then press the next button. It's a weird system, but you can get used to it pretty fast). Then of course don't forget to run the script file each time you start the game.

When I tried to start a mission, I heard sounds, but the screen was black. This fix will manage to make it right, and even better, it provides a bit better graphics. Here is the fix: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/355250/discussions/0/620712999979153740/

Solution 1 worked for me just fine. You have to download an archive and extract 2 files, and edit the launch options in Steam.

These were the must have fixes for a modern PC. I hope it makes it easier for people to find the important forum posts. Feel free to comment to improve this guide.
