Default the horde vs dosbox

Hey all,

I've been trying to play "the horde" in dosbox.
now i'm a noob so here's what i did:

all files are in windows 7 in the dir d:\horde
so i start dosbox and press mount L d:\horde
then i go to L:
then i press horde (since the exe is called that way)

i get a black screen followed by numerous vertical lines in different colours and then i'm back to my L drive without error.

any hints on what to do now, i am using the latest dosbox version.

Try this:
1. start DOSBox
2. cycles 20000
3. mount c d:\
4. cd horde
5. horde.exe

I used fastest way: drag HORDE.EXE to DOSBox icon. (It mounts target's dir as C then start it). It worked.

I used then slow way: mount L f:\horde then start horde. It worked.

Conclusion: you are doing something wrong or using wrong game copy. Where did you get the game? I checked Abandonia version.
