When installing "Gold Rush" (Sierra) for PC the game was on my hard drive and started with a batch file. When I first tried running this within DosBox it would essentially bring my system so much to a halt than it seemed to have frozen. The only way out of it was to hold down power and forcibly power-down the machine.
In running the batch file in a normal 'Command Prompt' (DOS VM) I found the problem was that the batch file was looping in error. I corrected the batch file and now the software works without issue from the Command Prompt and DosBox.
So I guess has anyone else experienced this - my initial thinking is that it should be submitted as a big (looping batch files bring the machine to a halt)... but wanted to check if anyone else had this first. Like I said, I fixed the issue but for future should this be a bug?
Thanks,
