I'm not sure if this is the right area to post (new to the whole dosbox thing). But anyways:

I have a bunch of old computer games (early to late '90s) that I've had problems with. I tried the newest version of doxbox ver .72 windows(works great). Here's a great game that isn't on the list:

Mission Critical - 1995 - Legend Entertainment - CDROM (3 discs)
Science Fiction - Point and Click Adventure with some strategy combat. Starring Michael Dorn and what's her name from Robocop.

Works great if you install using dosbox (mount the cdrom drive, install to whatever folder you like) No problems so far, except that the game lags during loading (always was that way for me)

also, since I'm here, a quick question: Is there any way to make the game fullscreen? Dosbox is windowed in the fullscreen (you know what I mean?) and the game is the same.

Thanks All

You can create an account on the dosbox homepage, and add the
compatibility data (preferrably with infos like you posted as they are
helpful by times).

You mean if you hit alt-enter or otherwise enable fullscreen the
display area is too small or something like that?

I mean, I can get DOSBox to run fullscreen, but the image is small.

Just a side note. There is a known crash bug in Mission Critical (IIRC, playing certain elevator video), that one is not DOSBox-related. When that happens, restore to the last saved game and press Escape as soon as that video starts playing to skip it. There is a patch in existence (included in some releases) but it does not do anything -- Legend recalled it later and posted a note on their website.

Try different output= settings (like ddraw) in your dosbox.conf, and play
a bit with the fullresolution= and scaler= entries.
