Friendly reminder: It's a good idea to assume any installer from an untrusted/unofficial source is malware.

Huh, I wonder what site this installer was hosted on. It seems that (based on a cursory google search for this game) a wide variety of game sites, from reputable stuff to more questionable ones, host the installation files for this game. I wonder how many are infected.
I remember getting a virus from that game like 10 years ago. I had to do a system restore to fix it.
