You have to install it, then run the game inside the emulator.

A Beginner's Guide to DOSBox should get you started.

OK THANKS!!!!
I did it all, except of: using NORTON COMMANDER.
I start DigIt directly from DOSbox.

But I would like to get a full screen. Dont know how. In a beginners a guide to DOSbox is said that at the beginning of the DOSBOX.confg file is said: fullscreen=false and that Ive to change that into fullscreen=true. And also Ive to change the fullresolution etc. But NOWHERE in the DOSBOX.confg I can find something about fullscreen. (FYI: I downloaded DOSBOX 0.73)

can you please help me again?!

Hit ALT+ENTER ingame to go full screen, and again to go back.

BTW, if you have a big monitor most dosgames will look terribly pixelated in full screen, just saying.
In the dosbox config file (Start menu -> dosbox 0.73 -> configuration -> edit configuration) there are some tricks to get a bigger window and better graphics, try some things out till you find something that suits you.
Look under header [SDL] and [RENDER]

Ehh.. I would also like to know if it is correct that in the game there's only music. Because if I collect some diamonds etc. I don't hear anything. So no effects... ?

It should be on the beginning of the config file under the [SDL] section, some two lines above fullresolution .

Hi everyone! I decided to play this game, just to revisit my childhood memories..But does anybody know how to get the sound effects working? Sometimes, during the game, they get fixed automatically, but most of the time it doesn't seem to work...Anybody know what to do?
Thanks!

Ah man, I tried and I tried but have to give up, this one is just to hard for me, at least for the "amount of nerves that I currently possess".
Played through first 10 levels and then the nightmare starts.
Too bad, it's a cool game. Creatures shouldn't respawn after you killed them, then the game would be passable for mortals.
