Well, I think I found out why it does not work... I'm opening games directly from their .exe files ...
DOSBox is not a driver. It doesn't automatically start up when you run a DOS program.

the problem is that when I drag their .exe into DOSBox it only get 'illegal command' in the DOS prompt.

The problem is that I absolutely can't figure out what's gone wrong...
The problem is that my guide was never meant for Drag & Drop.
Just put all your DOS games into subfolders of a single folder you mount as your C drive in DOSBox, set up DOSBox to automount it on startup, install Norton Commander and make DOSBox automatically start it... and that's it.

In other words, follow the guide.

BTW. Seems like part of one of the posts in it was erased somehow. I've replaced it now.
