Those are OK.

I open virtual C with dos box and it came up with some script I don't understand. (I've never understood script xD)
The problem is at this step - though it's not very clear what is the actual cause. A screenshot could shed some light on what's going wrong.

Is there a picture or video tutorial? Not trying to make you make one but I usually rely on video.

Create a folder to use as virtual C:

Hi, thanks for the reply I didn't expect a reply that early! I didn't under stand the steps though. I think I messed it up. This is what I did; Created a folder and called it virtual C to make it easier for me. Then I got the game folder and extracted the contents of the folder into virtual C. I open virtual C with dos box and it came up with some script I don't understand. (I've never understood script xD) I'm pretty sure I've probably done what I usually do and mess it up. Is there a picture or video tutorial? Not trying to make you make one but I usually rely on video. This is the first time I've had to use the abandon air wiki thing. Thanks though at least I know that I needed dos box and downloading it wasn't a waste of time.

Please Help!

I have tried to download three games from here which are Simcity 2000, A - train and Simtower - The something something. I have downloaded DOS BOX which, well... I have no idea what that does but it mentioned it a couple of times so I got it. I am using windows 8 64 bit. When I try to open any of the applications it comes up with this error message: This app can't run on your PC. To find a version for your PC, check the software publisher. There is only a close button after that and nothing else. Please can someone help me as I really want to play the games. All the feedback is appreciated. Thanks
