If ANYONE can make a working rip of the game that doesn't require the CD at all, speak up please! Then I can write a review and make screenshots and submit the game to be put on the main site! I'll still credit whoever makes the rip though...

Yup, creativity to make those oldies live even more!
About the rip, I'll test the rip I got with this ISO, I'll tell what I got after testing (BTW, rip is about 13MB)
EDIT: Don't know if it's on mine but, when playing with .jar version of DOSBox, try switching its configurations to "fullscreen=true". I'll finish testing on my home to see if this "stretching" issue happens there too.

I'll put some things here now: (firstly sorry for double post)
Recommended use of DOSBox (even on older PCs), it's easier for the "mount" trick:
Notes to run:
On DOSBox, type the following before playing the game:
mount c <directory>\XMENCOTA
mount d <directory>\XMENCOTA -t cdrom (if you don't type this, forget it.)
c:
xmen
It will begin to configure the UniVBE driver, just confirm the prompt and wait to play!
About that review... if you feel without time to write it, leave it to me, I'll reference you in it. Now I'm downloading the ISO, I want to see the differences between those files...
EDIT: Downloaded and checked. Unfortunately this rip is for the 8-bit version, not the 16-bit one... But it works.

Wow! I really appreciate the time and effort you're putting into this, patryck!

I already wrote a review for the game, but deleted it when I wasn't able to find a ripped version. I really don't feel like writing it all over again, so if you wanna write a new review, be my guest .

You deleted it??? Ahhh, bad thinking... we can always host the game without direct download, but with links to ISO Cellar. I thought it was public knowledge or something...

But link goes into Extras section right?
BTW I got the review ready, it's not big, so there'll be 6 screenshots with it. I'm upping shortly to FTP, in around half an hour (Am I using the 'an' right?) it's there.
EDIT: Done!

Absolutely. No (or almost no) commercial DOS game ever was lost.

Try Adventure Legends, for example.
