I tried for quite a while, too.
I eventually found a Linux binary of it out there and ran that instead.
It may be cheating, but unless you have the chops or desire to sit and

The upshot from what I've seen: it can still dump core but at least it
seems to be usable. Save often. :^P

"Hello, Hello Kitty", said Tuxedo Sam.
A voice answered back, louder than a thousand rock concerts, with words
which seemed to stretch from pole to pole, from the lowest hell to the
highest heaven: "I AM HELLO KITTY, DESTROYER OF WORLDS!"
