There is a moment in the game when a door just appears out of nowhere (next to a dinosaur skeleton). However, I have a horrible problem: the game seems to crash every time I enter it. The music becomes silent, the screen is black and nothing happens. Then, if I press a mouse button, DOSBox becomes unresponsive and basically all I can do is close the window manually.
I had such trouble getting the bag of marbles and right at the next moment I seem to be much more irrevocably stuck... The game is little-known enough that I can't find answers elsewhere, not like in case of Sierra or LucasArts games, where every bug and possible methods of bypassing them are described...
I want screenshots. I only want to complete the game at least once and be done with it, but it feels like the very existence of the game promised that I will be able to do it and now I can't. Why is the bug described nowhere? What can I do to prevent the game from crashing at this moment?

If you want to limit yourself to experiencing known bugs, I would recommend you go to a hardware recycler and put together a period machine to document the game on.

WHy do you answer like that? I was just expressing my frustration that I can't find any hints on doing anything with that bug.

Some odd bugs are effects in DOSBox only, and may not have been seen on a PC from that time. (I have seen some such myself on a few occasions) In those cases, it might be possible to ask at Vogon's (DOSBox) forums if anyone have seen the same.

I'm not trying to be mean to you, I'm suggesting a potential avenue around your obstacle. I have kept machines around for the sole purpose of successfully engaging specific generations of software that don't cut it under emulation... you could also!
