There are two types of executables used in DOS: EXE and COM. Some games need to be ran through batch files (BAT) in order for certain settings to work properly.

Have you read the review carefully and did what it tells you???
It says the game will exit the first time, but simply run it again - the second time it will work!

Does not work even if I load the game twice becaurse Dosbox is loaded out of memory so it did not see the first "y". (in other words, I have to start dosbox twice).

DOSBox out of memory... Well maybe you should try the loadfix command (or try using a DOSBox tool called D-fend).

Loadfix - simply type this and press enter before running the game (should give you more DOSBox memory (I'm no expert, but from what I remember it does just that).

some websites that bring you further (including the original you still can get for 5 pound):
