Well, Witchaven 2 is a hard game to test... While it works on Dosbox, it has sooooooo many timing issues that the game is almost impossible to beat, even on easy (because of the timing issues, when most enemies attack, the game registers multiple hits on you, making you lose soo much HP that its very hard to survive even the first enemies).
And to make things worse: most timing issues are present even on real Dos, unless you have a Pentium 100 around...
W1 also has some timing issues (jumping, for example, works quite bad in faster computers), but you can fix most of them by lowering the cycles on Dosbox. This doesn't work well on Withaven 2 though...
I've seen people bash Witchaven 2 for being too hard, when the game is actually not too much harder than the first one. And thats too bad, since W2 is better than the first in many aspects. Its still badly optimized and with horrible colision detection, but at least the levels are A LOT better designed.
