I tested the download and install with RAPPS and it worked.
This game installed and ran perfectly even with sound using ReactOS 0.4.13

The creator of the game made some comments in his repo about making changes to the gmae so that it
could run under ReactOS.

This is the latest version

Thanks for this! Just came across this, very cool to see :)

Though I only had a few minutes to spare I quickly tried it in the latest ReactOS 0.4.14 but unfortunately the bundled package manager Dave Gnukem ~v1.0.1 (I think it was) gave an error suggesting the bundled package failed some sort of integrity check.

Then I tried our latest Windows installer 1.0.3 for Dave Gnukem (from SourceForge https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnukem/files/latest/download) but got this DLL error when trying to run it:

"The procedure entry point ucrtbase.terminate could not be located in the dynamic link library api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll"

But the good news is installing a vc_redist.x86.exe (in my case "MS Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x86)" labelled v14.0.23026 when I briefly tested) seems to solve it :) seems to solve it :)

I think the official link for that may be:

I don't have time to look into this at all right now unfortunately, so not sure yet if it's something we could or should solve by e.g. adding some 'missing' DLLs or extra step or something to our installer (possibly, I just don't have time to look right now), (or even just adding instructions to download and install this) but in the meantime users can hopefully work around it with above.

FYI I've created a new 'Issue' to just formally track/document ReactOS compatibility issues: davidjoffe/dave_gnukem#182
