I'm sure this has been addressed before, but since I am just now finding these old games.... I have downloaded a couple of game files and can't figure out how to run them. The file type is not recognized by XP. Is there a program I need to download in order to run the game files (most recent download was Cyber Empires)?
Thanks for any help. Batwing (rank newbie) |

Yes there are some programs you can download. Try DOSBox it's available somewhere on site.

I guess I'm looking for whatever I need to play the games. I have downloaded DOS Box but am not sure how to implement it under XP.

you need to rename them to .zip and unzip them first.

Thanks. I will give that a try as soon as I get back home (assuming I get a turn on the computer this evening).
