Well, there is a VESA mode for DOS included with the CD version - you can select it in the setup program - and I have gotten it running playable but choppy on my machine (also an Alienware) - still no sound fx in the videos, but the map and dialogue screens look sharper... I just think that DOSBox isn't emulating fast enough to run it well, thats all. Oh well. Thanks for the feedback.

I just remember from ages past when I played it, I could never get the game to look as good in DOS as it did in Windows. For one thing, the movies lack sound effects in the DOS (VGA) version, lightning..motorcycle...etc. And the icons were much smaller, and the usuable objects appeared much clearer. I have a feeling the VGA version will probably be the best we'll ever be able to get out of DOSBox.
Oh, I have an Alienware computer, with 2.16 Gig AMD processor. So it ain't a shabby machine.
