Did you ran these games from DosBox? This is they key thing to do... However, it might happen that your download has been corrupted and you simply have to d/l these titles again. |

Those are all adventure games so I can't really help you here. Better wait for someone else with knowledge in those games to log in to help you. I do know that Windows 2000 have awfull compatibility tough. |

Could you give us more details? Like which game you are trying to run, what is the specs of your computer and which OS exactly you are using? We can't help you much without. |

| Eagle of Fire | Most games on this site been designed for DOS, which came way before any other operating system since DOS was the first OS on the PC. |

Yep, DosBox should solve it all. You see, all of these games were created back in time before Microsoft came up with Windows XP or 98. Hell, some of them were made way back before Windows 3.x. Because of that, they are coded in a completely different way and most of them require a DOS emulator to work. Here is the link, so don't jump out with a newb question like "how to download". Everything you need is written in the readme. |

| Eagle of Fire | Assuming you use Windows XP, use DOSBox or VDMSound with the program. |
