Read the whole thing, you can NOT run it directly in dosbox, you need W3.x to run it.

Yes, you can run W3.x perfectly in dosbox, if you didn't know that.
And as Simtower IS a W3.x game ........
The same as I posted in the post above yours:

Once again:
Sim Tower is a Windows game, not a dosgame.

Yeah, it does, but the whole point was to do this for free.


Okay, so now I'm trying to run the "setup.exe" file and it says "this program requires microsoft windows" a forum (http://www.dosgames.com/forum/about10598.html) says I can still use dosbox, but I'm not understanding their instructions.

The_Lemming Was there an install program in the folder with the files?

If so, THAT would be what you would use, not simply typing "expand".

Sim Tower Troubles (DOSBOX, Mac OS X)

I'm sure there's a simple solution to this, but I can't find it and I've looked all over the forums and used google, so here it is:

I downloaded Dosbox (whatever the newest version is) and Abandonia's version of Sim Tower. I followed the directions so that my screen looks like this:

But the files in the SimTower download, unzipped, are .ex_ which means they need to be expanded. When I type in "expand simtower.ex_" it says "illegal command: expand." How do I expand the files so that I can run the program?

Thank you so much.
