I decided to test more, starting with the most obvious, which is starting the machine without a startup-sequence. And that booted the game.
SO something in my Workbench setup is not playing nice with your game. What exactly, I don't know, but welcome to the nightmare of a fragmented platform :( It's so much easier on C64 in this aspect, we all have pretty much the same gear.

My Workbench setup is pretty vanilla which surprises me about this crash, but I do have resident stuff in memory (Commodities) and one of these is probably the culprit, probably the screen saver.

If you want me to test further, let me know!

So, we've established that the game works on your Amiga. Now, as you say, it could be a conflict with some utility in your operating system. Could you tell me if the game crashes immediately upon startup or if it does so later? If it crashes immediately (as I imagine), does it at least display a black, blank screen? Could you also see if the game still crashes by disabling the screen saver?

The game loads to a black screen then crashes. I think it does so when the LC Games logo is supposed to appear.

The software failure code is 8700 0004, Task 0080CAF0

i will test more without the screensaver commodity and let you know.

Could you try launching the game from the shell (CLI) instead of double-clicking the icon? Just type the executable file name and press Enter. If that still doesn't work, try increasing the stack size (the default should be 4096), for example, by typing "stack 32000" in the shell, and then restart the game.
