Starts DOSBox, doesn't start game.
Goes to a standard DOSBox prompt with no drives mounted.
Investigating the game's directory shows a batch file which is likely used to start the game but which fails to start DOSBox with the required .conf file. Attempting to mount . as drive C in DOSBox shows what appears to be the contents of ~/.steam on the resulting drive, rather than the expected contents of the DOSBox installation directory.
Shows an error message related to sound, exits before getting to main menu.
Game starts and reports "Digital Sound Initialization Error: Another application is currently using the Sound Device or Intel RSX 3D drivers are not installed.", after clicking OK, it shows what looks like an old-school NTSC test pattern for a few seconds, then exits.
This game is notoriously difficult to get working on modern versions of Windows. It was designed for Windows 95 and the technology of 1998.
Tested with Proton 6.3-1 and reported to Valve on GitHub.
