Default It's hard for an oldie to get going :(

Ok guys I go back a long way and using dosbox i have no trouble running any of the text games..ie mounting the c drive etc...but when I come to play a non text game I have great trouble getting it to play. I do change dir etc and look for the exe or bat file...but whatever game I try I just do not get it to run....so to keep things simple could someone suggest an old dos game (something popular subject is not important but running the game is) and take me through the process...I have read the various beginner notes and read lots of posts on the forum but cannot seem to get any games only text games to load...So lead me by the hand and encourage and help me to finally get a nice little game up and running in my brand new dosbox
