DownloadKyra is build on top of SDL, a cross platform game development library. It is tested on Windows and Linux. (Hopefully someone will do a Be and Mac version soon.) It has only been tested on an i86 machine. You will need SDL 1.2 or later to run Kyra, as well as SDL_image 1.2 or later. Previous versions of SDL and SDL_image will not work with Kyra.
