This game requires a 486. DosBox won't be able to run it for a long, long time.

Read the file that says README. You "mount" your real drives as virtual drives in DosBox. But like I said, for this title, it's irrelevant. It's only for "unprotected" 386 games or earlier.

Unless you have a dual-boot or Virtual PC, I'd say you're out of luck.
