I have tried to download three games from here which are Simcity 2000, A - train and Simtower - The something something. I have downloaded DOS BOX which, well... I have no idea what that does but it mentioned it a couple of times so I got it. I am using windows 8 64 bit. When I try to open any of the applications it comes up with this error message: This app can't run on your PC. To find a version for your PC, check the software publisher. There is only a close button after that and nothing else. Please can someone help me as I really want to play the games. All the feedback is appreciated. Thanks

Take a look@ The tutorials

You have the games, you have dosbox, now you just need to learn how to proceed.

Steps:
Create a folder to use as virtual C:
Unzip games in said folder
Mount folder in dosbox as virtual C:
Run games in dosbox.

Hi, thanks for the reply I didn't expect a reply that early! I didn't under stand the steps though. I think I messed it up. This is what I did; Created a folder and called it virtual C to make it easier for me. Then I got the game folder and extracted the contents of the folder into virtual C. I open virtual C with dos box and it came up with some script I don't understand. (I've never understood script xD) I'm pretty sure I've probably done what I usually do and mess it up. Is there a picture or video tutorial? Not trying to make you make one but I usually rely on video. This is the first time I've had to use the abandon air wiki thing. Thanks though at least I know that I needed dos box and downloading it wasn't a waste of time.

Most simple way to use DOSBox is pull main exe of game on DOSBox icon (proven that you are installed DOSBox and unpacked game in some dir Usually it starts after that.

Those are OK.

The problem is at this step - though it's not very clear what is the actual cause. A screenshot could shed some light on what's going wrong.
