Not to be pedant, but I have the original CD game and iI don't see why there should be problems in dosbox.
I simply mount an image with
imgmount directly in dosbox, install with
install.exe and launch game from HD dir with
dgate.
Runs fine
Really nothing special here.
Maybe that there are some peeps that will never understand how to launch a game correctly in dosbox, and that you always best follow the rules from the times of plain MsDos, now yeah, such ones will always be around.
Understandable if them peeps never have seen a dos prompt.
@Japo, If I remember correctly, you can as member create topics in the tuto section.
[Edit]
Just checked my image: Full CD image (ISO) packed with 7zip is approx 270MB. 7z format, not zip.

Tried some things out, and:
If you try to launch from C prompt as this:
c:\>c:\dgate\dgate -> failure.
If you:
c:\>
c:\>cd dgate
c:\dgate>dgate -> no problem.
So yes, as usual, do it the old ways and it works.
