I can start the game just fine, the videos/intros work fine, everything looks good, the sound is good, but when I click on "Start" game to begin playing, it crashes and goes back to DOS prompt showing this:

I don't know what program did you use to output a 522KB PNG file. Now it's 128KB in size.

Intel i7 5960X
Gigabye GA-X99-Gaming 5
8 GB DDR4 (2100)
8 GB GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming (Gigabyte)

That is a known problem with Creature Shock running on faster PCs. Instead of starting it in Dosbox using max cycles, limit them to around 40000 by typing "cycles fixed 40000" in the command prompt, without the quotes, and it should work okay.

Doomer! You are awesome!! I limited the cyles like you suggested and PERFECT!

THANK YOU! 😁

eL_PuSHeR, I used Windows 7's "Snipping tool", awesome screen capture program that was included WIN 7 Ultimate. I didn't even notice the size when I was done.
