Yeah, it does, but the whole point was to do this for free.


Okay, so now I'm trying to run the "setup.exe" file and it says "this program requires microsoft windows" a forum (http://www.dosgames.com/forum/about10598.html) says I can still use dosbox, but I'm not understanding their instructions.

Read the whole thing, you can NOT run it directly in dosbox, you need W3.x to run it.

Yes, you can run W3.x perfectly in dosbox, if you didn't know that.
And as Simtower IS a W3.x game ........

The same as I posted in the post above yours:

What you can do is install W3.x in dosbox, then it works.

Once again:
Sim Tower is a Windows game, not a dosgame.


Also: @#@@#@#Mac.

I will bother you one more time-- I have setup windows 3.0, run it on dosbox, setup simtower, and now it says it is the wrong version of windows. So which version of windows should I be running?

Never mind. 3.1 it is, then.
