The game came out in the 90s, ran well in Windows 98 and we spent countless afternoons, evenings and nights playing it. Often also in network multiplayer.<\/p>\n<p>I still have the original CD lying around, but you can&#8217;t get the game installed like that on a current Windows.

If you like, you can also install the cutscenes. They seem a bit strange today, but at the time they were one of the main reasons to play through the levels. After each level there was a new cutscene as a reward. Moving videos were still something special back then. The cutscenes are downloaded from the internet during installation.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9732\" src=\"https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/grunt_1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"499\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/grunt_1.png 499w, https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/grunt_1-300x233.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 499px) 100vw, 499px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After the installation, the game can be configured in the settings; in addition to graphics options and video resolution, the key assignment can also be set.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9733\" src=\"https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/grunt_2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"612\" height=\"406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/grunt_2.png 612w, https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/grunt_2-300x199.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The game can then be started via the launcher.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9734\" src=\"https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/grunt_3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1065\" height=\"650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/grunt_3.png 1065w, https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/grunt_3-300x183.png 300w, https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/grunt_3-1024x625.png 1024w, https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/grunt_3-768x469.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1065px) 100vw, 1065px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s get started with the campaign.
