Well, since I wrote the review maybe I should answer the questions so far:

@MasterGrazzt - Well, I did say in the review

...fans of the original game will still claim that Archon Ultra is inferior to its predecessor.
Glad you're here to validate that statement.

it doesn't work even with the dosbox tweaks...

The game doesn't start with DOSbox 0.65 and DOSShell!!
Any suggestion?
Maybe it's because of the DOSBox version... Under which version did Guesst manage to run the game (with all those tweaks)?
I swear I'm using .65, the latest version like I said. I had alot of trouble finding these setting. ALL of them must be done.
o Cycles under CPU = 8000
o rate under mixer = 44100
o EMS = false
o run archon1.exe (not just plain archon.exe)
You may also try setting all the rates and oplrate to 44100 in dosbox.conf

I tested these setting extensively, making a fresh dosbox.cfg and only changing these things and changing them in dfend as well. Maybe there's something I missed. Go to dosbox.sourceforge.net and check under the games section. There are tips there, but I'm not sure which ones are unnecessary.

If it's not running, please be more specific on what's wrong. Black screen? Halfway through intro then freezes? Which dosbos version are you using?

And if all this doesn't work, I'll bet rebooting in pure dos mode will have an effect...
