Those who wonder who the heck is ZOOM Platform, they are GOG's competitor that has been around since 2016 and aims to make games DRM-Free and make sure as hell that the games they offer actually work (Which GOG abandoned that mission until now with their Preservation Program in 2025). Unlike them however, they release the games not only into their own store but on Steam as well if its exclusive and even offer their service to other publishers/devs to fix the game and provide improvements which can be seen in Flatout 1,2,Ultimate or even in......Postal 3.

The store offers a recent version right now and fully supports zoom-platform.sh installer for Linux users, making it very simple to install and run without relying on frontends such as Bottles or Lutris.

The Zoom page seems to pull most of its data (and screenshots) from Mobygames. The system requirements are probably the default ones Steam tends to tack onto older titles.

Can you even run Windows 7 with 256 MB of RAM?

Also, the ESRB rating tag is a bit suspicious since Dink Smallwood is not indexed within ESRB's site and the game definitely not belonging to the E category...

Edit: looking at some other games there, does Zoom just put E to every game not rated by ESRB??

I'm guessing that it managed to dodge the ESRB back in the day due to being a direct mail order from RTSoft. However, the Iridon Interactive release in Europe received a suitable for ages 3-10 from ELSPA somehow.

Ciao bella, I'm Tomaso
Addicted to tobacco
Mi like mi coffee very importante
No time to talk e scusi
My days are very busy
And I just own this little ristorante
Life may give you lemons
When dancing with the demons
No stresso, no stresso
No need to be depresso

Mi like to fly privati
With 24 carati
Also mi casa very grandioso
Mi money numeroso
I work around the clocko
That's why I'm sweating like a mafioso
Life is like spaghetti
It's hard until you make it
No stresso, no stresso
It's gonna be espresso

Looks like it's possible to run Vista with 256MB so I imagine 7's not too far off.
