| HappyGamer | I tried it but a little confused how to set it up so that it sees all my dos games. Thank you it looks great. |

| catchaserguns | Go to the Dosbox site and get D-Fend frontend. It makes Dosbox very simple. I don't know a thing to run dos but this helped me a lot. |

Don't worry, there is a plentitude of other games you can play on DosBox, and a fair number of them you can download from Abandonia. So, no worries and have fun!  k:

| HappyGamer | OMG! I just spent the better part of hour going threw cd cases and cd-rom folders that I have and seem to have missed place my disk one of the beast within. So I thank you all for your help and I am sure it is around here and will turn up when I move. I just wanted to thank you for your help and apologize for I feel that I just have ask a useless question. I do apologize next time I will make sure I have the disks before asking a question like this again. |

DosBox Wiki is a good place to start. The config file explanation presented there is pretty extensive. If a game works choppy under DosBox, use CTRL+F12 to increase the cyclecount it is running at until you reach a playable value. If your machine cannot handle that high cycles, go to DosBox.conf and change "core=normal" to "core=dynamic". This will allow for approximately double the usual cycle count, but may cause occasional crashes. |

Hmm, you should go on trying with DosBox and tweak around with the cyclkes the CPU-setting and stuff. You'll GET it running if you use DosBox properly. Note: The "get-it-running-under-xp"-demands are not too great. And for sure some people are less patient than me and they will go  It's old games, so you can't use a new os to run them. |

| HappyGamer | I have the cd-rom version of this game in my collection and was wondering if there is anyway to get this game to run under xp. I tried some of the basic stuff such as going under properties and running it as though it was in win98 and nothing. Also when I run under dosbox seems to be really choppy and pretty much unplayable. I would love a chance to finally beat this game. If anyone has any suggestions I would love to here them. Thank you in advance. |
