I've tried.
I've tried so many times.
SO. MANY. TIMES.
But it either says: "Unable to change to Lion." or Dosbox goes completely black except for some writing at the top that says something like "hr..." and I cannot do anything, not even type.
What is the cause?! I've followed a Youtube tutorial, looked on every topic I can find and yet I still cannot play this game! I really want to. I play Wolf all the time (yet that works perfectly fine) and I absolutely love it. I've seen videos of people playing Lion and I just really want to get in on it for myself.
Can anyone help me? Any methods I should try? Should I try reinstalling? Or what?

Let's see...

1. I downloaded the game from Abandonia.
2. Extracted the archive (Lion.zip) in my DOSBox C-drive.
3. Start DOSBox
4.
cd lion
lion.exe

and the game starts. Seems to be working just fine.

My guess:
You're trying to start the game from the root of your DOSBox C-drive (C:\lion.exe). Instead you have to do like I did (C:\lion\lion.exe).

Heh, hate to sound stupid, but how would I do step 2? Extracting simply gives me the "hr" screen.
