Man, I remember getting hype, waiting for for ArEyeP to put these together. Pretty much the best Wolf-engine mods that I've ever played.

Solved: we were being impatient, the game is running too slow in a standard DOSbox setup. Once you've started the game, increase the emulation speed (cycles) by continually tapping Ctrl+F12. You want around 30,000 cycles, suddenly things start happening, and you can play the game. Much more than that, and the music starts distorting, and the game doesn't get any more responsive.
There is a way to make a configuration file for this specific game, but I don't know how to do that yet, having just started using DOSbox.

Same here in DOSbox under Linux Mint. There is a splash screen, music, sometimes by hitting random combinations of keys the game responds, but the screen just goes black after that. Pity.
