Made a quick look in attempt to try to help you, but looks like it's still commercial game, so I can't help. Perhaps Qbix (maker of DOSBox) could help you? He has his own forum here and I'd move this thread there if I only could. Have you tried different configurations with DOSBox? Like if it needs memory or something? Though I'm not very good at using DOSBox, so I'm not sure could that even be the problem. What problems do you encounter? Any error messages or anything?

I'll move it.:ok:
Qbix will probably want you to provide some extra information, though, otherwise he won't really be able to help you:
- Which version of DOSBox are you running, and what are your system details?
- What exactly have you been trying so far in order to run the game? (i.e. what have you been doing and how has it not worked?)
- Which error messages (if any) have you been getting?

My advice is - get D-Fend if you can't use DOSBox. I'm utterly incapable of using DOSBox by itself (since my first computer experiences were in 1993 - and Windows 3.11 was already on our PC at the time), but D-Fend is really easy to use.
