I am currently running dosbox 0.65 on a core duo intel iMac and when I run Shadow President it starts playing perfectly, however after a month in game time (depending on the speed you have it set on that can be like 20 minutes into the game), at exactly the same point, I get "assasinated" in the game and the game is over. Having played the game for the last ten plus years this never happened to me except when using dosbox on my Mac. And it never goes beyong that period of time.

Anyone have this similar problem?

It could be a copy-protection feature whereby the game checks for a genuine CD-ROM, and if the check fails, it sends in the assasin.

Did you install it / do you run it with the CD mounted?

It is an Abandonware game from theunderdogs... does that help?
