If you had 1mb RAM there was some more sound and visual effects.

Well, it launches just fine under STeem Emulator. Please note that STX-images can't be played on real ST without SD-card solution, and even then there are restrictions. You also need Pasti extension for your emulator to run STX-images and play around with various TOS and RAM configurations, check that your disk drive emulation is not accelerated etc... TOS 1.02 / 1MB STf is a good starting point. Also switching off drive B helps in some cases. Old computers are not plug'n'play. See further information of Pasti extension from http://pasti.fxatari.com/
