If you have the same in DOSBox just type ATRAIN :ok:

OK I have finally figured out how to get this game running on DOSbox v.0.65 (Phew!).
on the version that I downloaded there are 3 executable files, AT.EXE, INFO.EXE AND INSTALL.EXE. I was trying to run the game on dosbox using the AT.EXE but you need to use the INSTALL.EXE...
to find the path for this file enter the folder where atrain has been saved to and right click on the file labled as INSTALL.EXE, selct the program tab and the filepath should be listed in there in the command line (for me the location is C:\oldgames\atrain\atrain\INSTALL.EXE).

I have put all old dos games into a folder called "oldgames", so this is the folder that I mount a the c drive for dosbox.

So from scratch when I run dosbox I type the following:

mount c c:\oldgames <enter>
c: <enter>
cd atrain <enter>
cd atrain <enter>
install.exe <enter>

Obviously you don't actually type <enter> just hit the enter key.
Now form here you can install atrain and set it up for colour instead of mono and select the relevant soundcard (sooundblaster works fine for me although I am not acually using a soundblaster)
when the install is complete all you should then need to do is type atrain and voila! atrain ought to be running...

Happy trainspotting :D

Those games are for ZX Spectrum primarily :whistling:

Which means you need a Spectrum emulator to run them.
