As I recall, the game has problems with that much RAM. You should be able to get around it by using a RAM disk (like XMSDISK) to consume an extra 8 MB of RAM, or you can try using HIMEMX.

ETA: I'm trying to find where exactly I read about that, and can't seem to find the reference.

Do you have EMM386 loaded in your config.sys? That might be sufficient.

ACTUALLY, in case anyone else runs into this problem, I realized it was auto-detecting the wrong IRQ. Make sure you do it manually if you're not at 7.
