to start the game. if it does not work i recommend download DOSBOX, and on the same main site DOG. DOG is a frontend for dosbox. if it comes down to this point and you are lost make another post and i'l see what i can do for you to get up and running

thank you flanker leader! OK i downloaded dosbox and d-fender ,but i don't know how to use them(i only recently learnt how to use my pc(XP)i 'm having trouble with my keyboard? in the dosbox setup! i can't type "\"therefore can't access the program! i really like the semi-old games like the one's i've mentione in my previous posts.Isz there any more games i should know about?Is there another way to get these old classics (or tutorials how)i would've thought it would have been easier(for me) to get the older,free games,since my OS is more advanced than the original format they were created on!

don't have a lot of time until the weekend, but in the meantime what you want to do is run d-fend. that is the dosbox front-end that lets you use dosbox without typing in DOS. once you run d-fend, add a new profile with the profile wizard. make sure you auto lock mouse in there - you will likely get hung up somewhere else, but just post the problem and i'l try to get to it this weekend for you!
