Hey folks, X-Com Apoc works brilliantly with DOSBox now, the only issue I have found is the save games wont load if you try to load them from the main menu. There is an easy fix for this. Just start a new game and load your save game from there. No crash - no error... SWEET
Now, go kick some alien ass
How did you get dosbox to run Apocolypse perfectly?
Magic pixie dust.
Yes, it’s my fault.
Yeah, that pixie dust is tha bomb. But the true credits go to the CVS.
I keep hearing about thi CVS thing! Where the hell can I found it?
Just Wait.
It will arrive at your desk soon
Water flows down the stream
How to ask questions the smart way!
Could you be so kind and paste the solution from there over here? Because I cant get Xcom-Apoc running neither, not even with DosBox 0.61, I always get kicked back to the dos-prompt after the intro ran through.

The intro works, with sound, there area few graphical glitches though. But after the intro the screen just flickers and it goes back to the DosBox D:\XCOMA prompt... I tried without sound but it's still the same. How come it works for you but not for me? 😠

Good question. I could be a compatibility thing. You're using Intel P4, I have and Athlon XP. Maybe it has something to do with that.
