It seems to be fine, more or less, nothing about video mode problems
here. Though so far I only tested Parchis (which I had to manually
compile, so it could be a regression, though I only used "-s -O").
It's probably just a buggy program. It did crash (prematurely exit)
DOSBox at least twice on me during a game, but not at program exit,
and I'm pretty sure it's not DOSBox's fault. At least, I have no
reason to think so (but it's entirely possible). Probably just his
bug.

P.S. I have no idea how to play this game!   ;-)
