That's completely normal. The game is apparently incompatible with modern versions of DirectX.

Thankfully, it's possible to fix this by following the instructions here to insert the game's code into a more recent Blitz3D wrapper. It's a bit complicated, so make sure to read the whole topic.

You didn't actually read the whole topic, did you? If you had, you would've found this.

Just to make sure, you didn't just run the unedited executable, right? After all, it's just the raw Blitz3D engine. It's useless without the game's actual code, which you have to extract from the original executable and insert into the new one. Do you know how to do that?

Okay, inserted the code and it runs.
