When I play this game I get some lag that slows it down quite a bit. The space ships look like all jumpy and stuff 😐
The game seems to have some sort of 3D engine or something, I don't really know.

Is this possible to fix?

What kind of PC are you running DOSBox on?
Any changes to the default DOSBox configuration? Cycles? Core? Output? Scalers?
What is the CPU load in Task Manager?

Sorry to have to ask all these questions, but my crystal ball broke last week so I can't see the answers.

I'm on a Core 2 Duo.

I didn't change any data on the DOSBox config file.

3000 cycles on DOSBox, and CPU usage doesn't go higher than 2%.
