Hello,
I can run it under Dosbox, yes, if I first install a DOS screen reader.
This isn't necesarily a trivial or easy job. I just mannaged to pull it off
today, and it works quite well, but I'm not quite sure I could give you
directions on how to repeat what I did. It'll only help anyway if you have
a hardware synthesizer.
If you don't, though, you can still quite possibly play it just under
Windows. The mouse or equivalent review cursor is needed, but if you have
that and can read with it the game will work reasonably well.
Hope this helps,
Zack.
