I'm not sure if I understand the question. If you mean that you can't get the game to play, try DOSBox. Monster Bash has an entry in the wiki at wiki.classicdosgames.com.

have you tried altering the CPU cycles / frameskip?

also have you checked that you are using the latest version of dosbox?

Terminal Velocity requires a lot of processing power. Many games will run in DOSBox with default settings, but Terminal Velocity will require you to increase the cycle count in order to run well. Always check the Wiki to see if someone has posted compatibility information for a game you're having trouble with.

DOSBox:

This game is playable, but cycle count should be high to correct for speed.
