    magic carpet is a monster to get to work on modern hardware with dosbox. 6$ is worth it for a working config alone to be honest.
    
    magic carpet is one of those games that would sync its screen updates to your CPU clock, therefore even if you get it working on dosbox, it will run at one hundred and ninety three billion frames per second, literally. you have to tweak down your CPU speed, which is mildly irritating.
