 Uprising does not have any CD-Key or other restrictions (except the CD-Check), so you can buy the game anywhere where it is still offered, i.e. Ebay, Amazon, private sellers and other commercial dealers. As long as the CD is OK, everything is fine. On [[https://www.gog.com/game/uprising_join_or_die|GOG]] it is distributed as an edited version, but only in English and only with two of the original four HUDs available. (E. g. the HUD that can be seen in the [[#Screenshots]] is not available.) Uprising does not have any CD-Key or other restrictions (except the CD-Check), so you can buy the game anywhere where it is still offered, i.e. Ebay, Amazon, private sellers and other commercial dealers.

 Under Win 7 x64 the original game seems to have its problems with the display. Even with compatibility mode for Win 98 and started as administrator you can see only a gear wheel in the lower right corner of the screen. The actual menu is still there, because if you move the mouse, you can still hear the usual sounds. Under Win 7 x64 the original game seems to have its problems with the display.

-The GOG version also runs under Windows 10 without any problems, with the above mentioned slight limitations in stability. However, the GOG version is only available in English. Since the German translation is not very good, this is not a real loss (at least for players who speak English).+The GOG version also runs under Windows 10. It used to run without any problems, but lately (2021-07-20) running Steam kept the game from starting. Actually the GOG version notifies you an the end of the installation process, that stopping most applications may improve upon that.
