Dosbox and Bard's Tale

I've discovered a MS-Dos download of Bard's Tale (I do have a copy of the game somewhere) and I immediately thought about trying to get it to play in dosbox. The file is here

 

When I try and run the file, dosbox says that it can't run this exe in dos mode - even though it's a dos game!

 

I realise that dosbox can't run everything - but I wondered if it's possible to get this running - I used to love this game...

yeah - I got that working - cool.

 

OK - confession time. The game I had was for the Amstrad CPC, but I figured that dosbox was probably more stable than the cpc emulator that I've got...

 

BUT - the bard that comes in the default party had a fire horn in the CPC version and this one doesn't :sad:

 

So, unless I can figure out a way of creating a party in one game and then using it in the other, I think I'll be going back to the CPC...
