I just downloaded FOG and it only comes with an Install .exe , not preloaded as other great games on this site has. I'm not quite sure how to use this method in conjunction with dosbox. I have had no problems with other games, such as Acsendency, which unzipped with the entire program intact. Any help would be appreciated..ps this site rocks..I'm reliving the '90s..lol:rocks:

Run DOSBox.
Mount some directory as your C drive. The installation program should be in a subdirectory of it.
Switch to C.
Enter the subdirectory.
Run the installation program.
> Install Game
> Install Standard Version
> OK
> C:
> OK
> Install
Wait till it finishes
> OK
> Exit Installer

The game will be installed in C:\FOG .
Run fog.bat
Sound Card > Sound Blaster Pro (later)
Address > 220
IRQ > 7
DMA > 1

And you're good to go.

Please note that WoG is a very old game. It might expect that you have the install.exe file in the A: floppy drive. If it is the case then you need to mount the floppy with the "-t floppy" suffix added to the mount command.
