This game will crash in DOSBox 0.73 (apparently it ran fine on the previous version.) I did some browsing at the official DOSBox forum, and
found out that the game will not crash when
cputype is set to
386.
Alternatively, one could use an official patch that fixes this along with other bugs. The patch can be found
here.
I would recommend the Abandonia staff to update the version available here using that patch.
