=Global Memory bank=
This is a structure of significant size that holds over 2500 DWords related to the global situation. These range from logs to screen resolutions to sound handlers. Documenting this is a very difficult task as it is accessed all over the executable code and usually passed to other functions as pointers. As such this list is likely to change a lot and some of it might start off completely wrong. This only applies to the PC version and possibly only v1.02 of the '98 release.
