i'v read in some old topics about this game but nothing helped me...
when I start the game, the intro goes well and after that it just
pulles me back to dos, (the sound works well in the intro...)
when i was playin this on win98 years ago I was puting some extra lines in config.sys:
DOS=HIGH ( cause it needs more xms mem (577Kb)-Himem.sys)

anyone?

thanks

Three things to do:
- Even though the sound works well in the intro, check to make sure you've selected the correct IRQ in the game's setup program (DOSBox uses IRQ7 by default).
- Also, ensure that the game's files are not set to read-only.
- Use the "normal" core in dosbox.conf (the default)
There is no config.sys file in DOSBox and there won't be any problems with the amount of memory available to the game.
If none of the above helps, try downloading a recent CVS build and try with that. I have the game working perfectly, so it's definitely possible.

CVS is the version control system. A CVS build is the term applied to an executable "built" from the latest source code as it currently exists in the CVS repository. This includes all the latest patches and improvements (and also the freshest bugs 😜 )

There's several around. You could try ykhwong's http://ykhwong.x-y.net/.
