If it's a DOS game, chances are it will work in DosBox.

You might want to check out the official DosBox FAQ, and particularly this part of it. It is quite helpful for users unfamiliar with DosBox.

I suggest you alre read the pages about command line, internal programs (very important!) and the config file.

If that stuff is a bit too much for you, you might consider using one of the multiple frontend programs available.

It's all easier then it seems. So remember:
DON'T PANIC!!!

Ah well, i tried D-fend or what's it called, and didn't really figure it out. i've got the CD, and i tried to mount and stuff. the game got both a windows and a dos-installer. Both of them creates a gamefolder, with the exact same files in it. And there's both a windows icon and a dos-icon. when i use the windows one, it just says the game requires windows, but when i click the dos-icon, it says i need the CD, wich i tried to mount but failed with, even though i'm able to install the game through D-fend. :wallbash:

Think i'll just give up, i'm even worse than a noob when it comes to this kind of stuff :] Thanks for your help though, it was worth a shot. Too bad it didn't work out, this is the game i've enjoyed most in my life, played it on my first computer, and ever since windows XP got out, i've been trying to make it work.
