I managed to get a copy of this Win '95 game sometime last year when I was still using XP. Every time I tried to run it, it would eventually crash.
Now I'm on OS X Leopard, and have been using Crossover Games, VMware Fusion and of course DOSBox to run my Windows software.
Is there a simple way to get this game up and running? Or do I have to install Windows '95 on VMware?

You can try HX Dos Extender inside DOSBox.

Seems that it crashes using that too. I get a big ol' "fatal exit" error.
It won't even start up if I use a Windows 98 bottle in CrossOver.

Perhaps the copy is missing files and won't even run under Windows 95.

Hey, you were right about that! The copy I had was like the only one available at the time. I got a new one that's an exact copy of the original CD and it ran perfectly.
