Isn't this the game that had to run full page adverts claiming a new, updated version was available and "the bugs have been squashed!" Obviously this was pre-internet, so updates like this were quite uncommon.

Might have been. That game was so bugged that the installer crashed for a lot of people. Once it got patched enough that you could actually play it--which took years--it was supposedly pretty good, but nobody cared by then.
