Seems the download is a WinRAR selfextracting file, needs Windows to work.

If you haven't access to a Win PC you could try UnRARX for Mac.
http://www.unrarx.com/
That's my best shot as WinRAR also works on RAR selfextracting files in Windows.....
Or find a Win PC, uncompress and burn the CD.

ok, so I got things to unzip, but now when I run the program I get the error "unable to open the voice file on the CD-ROM. Verify that the CD-ROM is in the drive. You might also check the VOCDATA path in the LEGEND.INI file".

I'm running it on Dosbox, so everything is in a single mounted folder, and the VOCDATA path in that file is '.', which I'm assuming means current directory.

Why am I getting this error? Am I missing some file?

You seem to have missed the dosbox readme, more especially the cd mount instructions.

That's a nice readme for Mac users:

Scroll down for MacX.

Thanks for the help! Now I've got the game running, but for some reason whenever I fight battles in the game mode, the computer automatically takes over (and loses a lot of ships stupidly). I'm sure there's an option somewhere to fix this, I'm just not sure where. This isn't a technical question so much as a cry out to anyone who knows the game. Where can I set the option?
