Indeed. Here you have a step by step tutorial: http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/showthread.php?t=17498 Try it with Civilization (civ.exe as I said), it has to work (because that game doesn't care if it's run from the root directory). |

Try fast way. It works in most cases, in my experience. 1. Unpack game where you want it (you did it already, it seems). 2. Enter game dir with your favorite file browser (I prefer Total Commander, but most people use Explorer, I have no idea why). Find CIV.EXE or what exe do you want. 3. Drag this exe over DOSBOX executable/link. In 90% of cases it will automatically mount your dir and run the game. (Other 10% still need more sofisticated procedure, described above). |

Then you need to do cd civi in DOSBox to change the directory and then type the name of the file that starts the game and press enter. |

| Japo | Civilization must have a civ.exe file, surely the archive you can download from here. So if you mount it correctly and then you enter the correct cd commands and then enter "civ" it will run. If you have doubts you can consult our tutorials. Otherwise you would really need to describe in more detail what you did step by step, starting by where you unzipped the archive and every single DOSBox command. | |

they all are not working when i type mount c c:\oldgames\ c: cd (game file name)for example .bat or .exe or any like it i type,says illegal command. desert strike,jungle strike,panzer general,pacific general,nightmare creatures,command and conquer all work in dosbox when i enter the commands.I have 14 games in the oldgames folder and 7 work out of 14. (however nightmare creatures and pacific general run when I go to oldgames folder and right click run as admin in full screen mode without dosbox or with it i cant tell,but they work.) btw i downloaded the games from abandonia in the game section. note:I have 2 copies of panzer general one from this site and another from panzergeneraldownload.com I got civilization to work and c&c |

Either your mount command is wrong, you didn't extract the files properly or you need to navigate in the game directory in DOSBox. |
