Since the game was made for Windows 3.1, it doesn't work on modern operating systems (OS). The only way to get the game running without actually installing Win 3.1 on your computer is through either Virtual Machine or DOSBox. Virtual machine is an emulation program that allows users to install their old versions of Windows and run them as ghost OS that won't conflict with their modern OS. DOSBox only supports the installation of Win 3.1, but that's all this game requires to run. There are many simple guides online that explain how to install these operating systems with the help of these legal emulation programs.
The game has two keyboard commands - "s" for saving and "q" for quiting, but there's also one more useful command. If at any point of the game the player presses and holds the left mouse button, the game should freeze and an icon in the shape of the Klingon insignia should appear. When the player clicks with it on some object or person on screen, encyclopedic information about this object or person will be shown (if available) and read by a female Klingon. It's useful, but not crucial, to use this virtual mini-encyclopedia to get more information about the fairly simple puzzles. To resume the game, the player must press the left mouse button twice.
Just like Star Trek: Borg, an FMV game very similar to this, the game sometimes expects you not to react in certain situations, even though the characters tell you otherwise. On the other hand, the game expects you to die at certain points to learn more about some of the puzzles.
The weapon used in the assassination attempt on Gowron is called Hunter-Killer and it's a tribute to the same weapon used for the same purpose in the book series and the movie Dune.
Although the game comes on three CDs, the third disk is actually a visual in-depth Klingon language course, where Gowron and Marc Okrand, the creator of Klingon language, teach the player Klingon in fine detail.
