This game works without any difficulties (DOSBOX 0.72) on two different laptop PC's, one running Vista with Nvidia graphics and the other XP Home with ATI Radeon. Since the game's resolution is 640x480x256, the default DOSBOX settings give a stretched picture in fullscreen mode. This can be fixed by setting fullscreen res to whatever your monitor's actually is (e.g. 1280x800 or whatever), and selecting the Keep Original Aspect ratio option. I'm using D-Fend Reloaded to set these so I forget what the actual DOSBOX config settings are. This is an example of DOSBOX at its technical best, as the digital sound in this game was iffy on many old DOS pc's.
I did have an old laptop that would not run it at all - Silicon Motion Lynx graphics. This was back in the days of Win98. I don't think even DOSBOX would work on that one.
