How do I get a DOS game to run in Windows? I keep getting this message:

System file not suitable for running MS DOS.

Try compatibility modes:

Win95,
Win98,
Win2000,
WinXP.

If that doesnt work - try dosbox.

Look here.

I beckon you to read the "read me first" thread". You see, up there? The first thread of the forum...

It's there for that purpose.

An emulator of dos. It runs anything that a 486 dos should be able to run.
