Getting a DOS program to run the Linux terminal

I'm trying to get a DOS game/program to run on the Linux Bash shell and not through the DOSBox command line.

For example, I am trying to get Duke Nukem 3D to run on the terminal with the DOSBox command like so:

"dosbox ~/game/duke3d/duke3d.exe"

So far, I have been unsuccessful.

Is there a way to carry the command over to the DOSBox command line?

This works fine for me:

dosbox -c c:\\games\\pcman\\pcman.com

Yes, backslashes need to be doubled.
And you need to use DOS pathnames, not Unix.
