Upstream is already working in replacing the graphics but it is a slow process and it seems there are very few people interested in helping. I don't know what's the status of the original nonfree graphics. It might be daunting to know because the original game is quite old having been released almost two decades ago. BTW, I think that this is the same issue xrick has and xrick is in RPM Fusion nonfree. http://www.bigorno.net/xrick/download.html Bye, Andrea.
