Well, you're not supposed to.

But there are tutorials all around that explain setting up DosBox thoroughly. You'll get it done! k:

Look at the DosBox Wiki

Any error messages when you're trying to run the game?

Ah yes, cannon fodder 2!

the original was a real beeeatch to get working (took me an entire week in the early 90's to det the damn thing to the title screen)

As I recall, it has RIDICULOUS (for the time) memory requirements...

Tips (as I remember it from the days of DOS 5).

Give it as much conventional and EMS memory as possible (yes EMS nor XMS - that's Extended, not eXpanded memory)
up the "Files=x" to at least 25

If you are doing this in an oldschool DOS bootdisk, remember to add the following line into the config.sys file)
DOS=HIGH,UMB
This line will load as much of DOS into Higher memory (640KB - 1MB) as possible, maximising free conventional memory.

I think this game taught me enough about computers that I ended up supporting them for a living...

Hope this helps people - at least it will give you a place to start tweaking settings.

Sorry, but your description isn't sufficient. Please post a screenshot of that query.

No.2 is now so bad, but nowhere near No.1!

Unfortunately or fortunately (depending on point of view) this is now sold on GOG.

I guess they'll also make a CF bundle soon.

The links for this still need to be changed, as it's sold on GOG
