Pretty much doesn't work at all. I have to install it in regular WinXP command prompt and then run dos box to play it but when I run lost.exe or lost.bat or whatever the program file is it just does a black screen with the flashing cursor on the top left corner like everything happens in dos when it crashes.
Any help?
No one at all? There's no way to get it working?
I haven't tried this game myself, but according to the DOSBOX page it is playable on 0.60. Perhaps you should try it on DOSBOX 0.60. I know it sounds strange, but somethings which won't run on 0.61 will run on 0.60 and vice versa. That is why I keep both on my computer. Generally speaking, I try 0.60 first and then only try 0.61 if that doesn't work.
Thanks but I tried it and it doesn't work 🙁. Thanks anyway...guess I'll have to live without it....sigh
have you mounted the cd properly (with -ioctl)?
What's that now? I looked at all the commands and tried them all but I don't remember that one. Could you perhaps explain how to use it?
Could you perhaps read the readme?
I tried it but it won't do anything different.
Hi
Did you ever get lost in time to work as i'm still desperately trying and having the same problems as you.
i would be grateful if you could send me an email:
Many Thanks
Lee
I do not have the CD Version, but the diskette version or R.I.P. (i dont know what it is) of Lost in time play very good in the 0.62 version of Dosbox.

The game (v. 1.0 - released in 1993) works fine in DOSBox 0.61 and 0.62 on XP. I have CD ROM mounted as:
mount e e:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0 -ioctl

Thank you very much!!! I've been trying to get this game working for about a year now and you've managed it for me. Thank you and thank dosbox!!!
*whistles low* wow, this was posted a long time ago... but for the sake of if anyone else has this problem and looks at this thread in the hopes of finding an answer at the bottom, I'll respond anyway...
are you trying to double click lost.exe or lost.bat while dosbox is open? I dunno, that's what it sounds like you're describing. If that's the case, you need to actually open it from dosbox, not open it from the folder. It won't work that way. Dosbox doesn't make the files usable in general, it makes them usable in dosbox.
Anyway, make sure that you are mounting the hard drive and the cd drive correctly. For WinXP, here are my settings that I have to automatically run at dosbox's startup:
MOUNT C C:\SIERRA\LOST
MOUNT D E:\ -t cdrom -USECD 1 -ioctl
C:
LOST
That starts up LIT. If it still doesn't work, download the patch (there's a link on the forum somewhere). If all else fails, get a newer version of dosbox.
