Hi Gruntzers, I'm the one in South Korea This forum makes me remember my childhood searching for WARP words
I want to play single modes and various custom modes, but having trouble which and in which order to install and update... Seems there are Tooooo many things to download to play game properly. Could anyone give me some advice on installing?
( I found the old CD(Korean version) on the second-hand market anyway and I can get it for about 40 dollars. I think it worths but doubt the 20 years old files still work in my PC. )

Once you get the game files on your PC, you will be able to start the game but it's probably going to be running so slowly that it's going to be unplayable. There's a couple of different ways to fix that, explained in the List of Utilities under "Tutorials" and then "Making Gruntz run smoothly...". Using a Virtual Machine should always fix the problems but configuring it might be more time consuming than the other workarounds. The other options generally involve replacing Gruntz's DDraw.dll file (graphics library), are very quick to do, but seem to not work for everyone. DgVoodoo is probably the most popular one, so you might want to try it in the first place.

Hi Gruntzers, I'm the one in South Korea
If you feel then need for a refresher, there are the 'Training Levelz'. And you could start in order of difficulty, from "Very Easy" all the way through to "Frustrating".
Installation may depend on the version of Windows you have. It self-installs on 99 and XP, perhaps Vista as well. It definitely requires manual installation on later versions of Windows ... when you also require add-ons to allow play of the game.
I can provide an English language version for about a third of that cost in American $ ... $10 plus postage to South Korea. (You type well in English, so that porbably would not be a problem for you ... or even be an aid in improving your English for InterNet use.
Once again, it depends on Windows version ... but (with add-ons) even works on Windows 10.)

There are a few "young buckz" who are still involved with Gruntz who are a definite asset for anyone new to use to get going in the game. They are the ones who have provided the various work-arounds that even enabled this 'old geezer' to keep playing. I just got tired of the frequent crashes on THIS computer using DgVoodoo ... which allows play, but has a tendency (for me) to lock up. Sometimes so severely that power off ... wait a bit ... power back on and restart at the last SAVE was my only option. When Gruntz takes over the computer and a crash occurs with a Grunt in the middle of speaking, even the "three Finger Salute" to invoke task manager doesn't work. So I do my playing nowadays on the XP laptop I bought on-line for $99 plus shipping.
Perhaps those option changes are all I need to play under Windows 10.
