Problem description is insufficient:
- You did not specify which exact games you have trouble with (and it DOES matter... in fact it matters a lot)
- You did not provide any information about your hardware nor operating system (and it also matters a lot)

Until you provide a more detailed description of your problem, I can only suggest you read A Beginner's Guide to DOSBox.

Do as Fifth suggested: Download DOSBox and read the tutorial he linked (also linked in my signature). See if that helps.

All games you have listed should be ran in either pure DOS or DOSBox. The guide I linked to should help you with getting the games to run in DOSBox.

Someone has an Alka Seltzer for me ? THX.

An advise: read carefully the howto for dosbox and please get rid of that path.

woopie... i'm lazy to read and hope there's only 2 or 3 adjust without read all way... woopie :thanx: k:

Let me tell this 'as is' to you:
I've you expect that you will get those ol'games running by a click of your mouse: NOPE.
If that's what you expect: stick to Wingames or buy a console.

Tough you can put a (minimal) effort in it, and if needed you will get the help you need.
That small effort will bring you the joy of thousands dosgames that you will be able to play.
But it won't go without a small effort from you.

Simply do it, and feel the satisfaction of getting those ol'gems running.

[gregor]

isn't there a way to run the games by simply installing dosbox and then click, drag & drop the executablefrom the game over dosbox.exe?

[dosraider]

Yes, works for some games.
T'll you need to set up sound, then you're screwed.
T'll you need to disable EMS, then you're screwed again.
T'll you need a CD or ISO, then you're screwed again.
T'll you need some specific run command, then you're screwed again.

But yes, for some games the drag&drop works.

*Edit
And forgot to mention another reason why you should learn to use dosbox without that drag&drop:
Games that need a definied directory structure, those who won't find their files in the subdirs when the gamedirectory is mounted directly as C:

Oh yes: then you're also screwed if you don't learn at least the minimal basics of dosbox.

And you may add a lot of such situations.
