Default What is DOSBox and where can I download it?

What is DOSBox and where can I download it?
Every time I try to start "Samurai" an error window appears saying "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running.

Do you know how to get it to run with Windows 7?

This means that your Windows is 64-bit and, either the program is for MS-DOS (6.x or lower) or for Windows 16-bit (Windows 3.x or earlier, really old). So make sure you know which is the case. The sure way to know is to try to run it in DOSBox or DOS: a Windows program will show a clear message: "This program cannot be run in DOS mode."
