The game was written for win95 and may not run on winNT.
The first error (movutils) might be causing the second error. Fix the
first error and the second error may go away. So, is 'movutils.dll' in
the Amber folder/directory?
('movutils' = MovieUtilities External Factory. If you don't get
'movutils.dll' to load, you won't see any MOVies! Duh! :-} )
I couldn't get any reaction from a search for 'newGame'. 'Game' is
defined and I assume it's trying to do 'new Game' (a C++ thing, or
similar.).

I assume you have read the troubleshooting section of the 'readme.wri'
file, and have set your screen to 16bit depth before starting the
game, with CD in the drive.
And installed the Quicktime that *came with the game*(you can have
more than one QT version installed, not like DX, which only allows a
single installation).
Correct?
