![]() Hi! I found this place while searching for "Mystery at The Museums". I was really excited and hit download, but when the game downloaded... it wouldn't open because it's a Windows application or something along those lines.
How do I get these games to work on Mac OS X Leopard? I've checked FAQ, with no luck.. |

![]() first of all, it's not a windows game but a dos game. so use dosbox for it
second of all, how can you call yourself a classic gamer if you don't know this? =P

![]() Great.
I recommend checking out A beginner's guide to DOSBox (written for Windows but most of it - ie the important parts - will be applicable for Mac as well - remember the paths are different, however) |

![]() I've actually just started using Boxer in lieu of DOSBox. It takes a lot of the heartache out of configuration stuff, and I believe it also auto-mounts CDs (which is ordinarily overcomplicated in OSX).
