At first it was hanging. When I sent ^C, I got:
ALSA lib confmisc.c:674:(snd_determine_driver) could not open control for card 0
ALSA lib conf.c:3328:(snd_config_hooks_call) function snd_config_hook_load_for_all_cards returned error: Invalid argument
and it would start without sound.
To get this to work with sound I had to edit ./Neocolonialism to contain the line:
export SDL_AUDIODRIVER='dsp'
