If you're all for virtual go for VPC2007.

BUT: Death gate is a dosgame.
Runs fine in dosbox 0.74.
You will be much better with dosbox, believe me.

There is a Win7 tuto for dosbox in tutorial section.
You should end up with:
x:\.....\oldgames\dgate\

your inputs in dosbox to be able to run the game:

mount d x:\........\oldgames\
cd dgate
dgate

Yes, mount as D , it's not a typo.
Game is ready to run in dosbox, no setup nor install needed.


[Edit]
Whoops ... overlooked this,sorry :

Now, if you have the original CD:
Best create a CD image (modern CDdrives aren't really suited to run those older games, too much spinup/downs/heat...etcetera... blah blah....)
Use the normal mount ( C in stead of D)
Mount the CD image as D in dosbox (use imgmount)
Install game normally from D on C in dosbox.

Where is the tuto for dosbox 0.74? I don't see it in the tutorial section of the forum. I saw one for 0.73, but it was saying to "open dosbox menu items" in the start menu and there is nothing that says dosbox menu items in my start menu or under the dosbox program folder in my start menu.

Nevermind, figured it out...lol.
