Ok, I have downloaded DOSBox, mounted dosprog.. But how do I start actually playing the games? I have downloaded them from this site, and I am very confused as to how to play them.

First the games you downloaded are in .zip format. You need to unzip them using your favorite unarchiver program (most everyone here use Winrar). Then you must mount the game in DOSBox.
When this is done you must search for .exe, .com or .bat files to start the game. The rest is pretty straightforward. |

I followed the directions for mounting C drive by typing: "mount c c:\dosprog" but nothing happens. The game I was trying to install is Street Fighter 2. Also is there a separate bootdisk required for NTFS partitions?, I noticed that the bootdisk doesn't work on NTFS, only on FAT32 I guess. Both partitions I have are NTFS.

try / instead of \.
It depends whether you have a UK or US Keyboard layout! |

Thanks for the help. I thought extracting them would work, but I guess it did not. Hehe. I will try that now.
Ok, game mounted... How do I start the game now? I have tried opening the .exe file, but I cannot figure out which one it is. The game I am trying to use is Eye of the Beholder 1, by the way. |

I recommend a frontend for DOSBox called DFend. It makes adding, configuring and launching games a lot easier.
