It won't work. In DOSbox .65 and ykhwong's .66, I get some music on a blank screen followed by a brown bar at the top. After hitting escape, the game loads with no errors, but nothing happens. In the new .70 version, the game gets to the menu, but then either blackscreens or doesn't respond when I hit menu buttons.

The windows version (which I'm leery of using) asks me to insert the BC3K cdrom in drive C.

That 1.0 freeware release seems functional. Maybe verify the
contents of that BC3000AD.INI, also try something like
"mount d c:\bc3 -t cdrom" depending on the .ini file.

Oh and while at it don't use mount c c:\ but put the stuff/install it
into some subdirectory.
