The description of the game at Mobygames says the game has EGA graphics, but every time I start it up, it asks what speed my computer has and no matter what choice I make, it goes directly to CGA without any other options.

How do I start the game in EGA? I've already set the video card in

[dosbox]
machine=

to ega, cga, tandy, and pcjr

Do I need to find an EGA-only version of this game?

Thanks.

It should work with the EGA machine type in DOSBox, and a fix has been committed in SVN for the compatibility issue that prevents it from working. However, the Tandy and PCjr machine types do not support EGA graphics; they have 16-color graphics modes that function differently than EGA.
