Please do not try it, or just for fun.

The engine is abysmally weak compared to the real Tiger, and the GUI has nothing
to do with the one we are using now.

This is a very old Tiger version, very slow. It is a 16 bits version, one way
before I rewrite everything for 32 bits.

It's nowhere near the current Tiger. If you try it in the hope to get an idea
about what Tiger 15, you are wasting your time.
