GOG builds are notorious for not being exactly optimized. For starters, why don't you try a newer SVN build of DOSBox instead of 0.74-3? Like the one here?

Also, when DOSBox crashes, it should leave a stderr.txt file in its folder. Can you reproduce the crash, then grab this file and upload it here?

I think this is a problem of the pc version of this game, it is not a problem of dosbox.

I looked at your stdout file. People with more knowledge than I might help you, but what you could try doing is:
- force DOSBox to use normal core instead of dynamic
- try turning off sound and music and see if the game is more stable

None of this might work though.

As a DOSBox alternative, you could try playing the game in 86box with FreeDOS installed, here's a brief guide to set this up.
