The Lion exe is there alright.

Make sure the DOS prompt is telling you "lion" is the current directory.

If the directory is in the root directory C, it should look like this:

C:\LION>

Or, if the Lion directory is in a subdirectory named say, games, it'll look like

C:\GAMES\LION>

If the prompt is pointing at a different directory than the game directory, then DOS will not be able to find the Lion.exe.

If the prompt is pointing at the right directory AND you're being told that LION is an illegal command, please consider the possibility of a faulty download. Try downloading the game again.

Everything should be working.
You must have made a typo before.

You have two LION directores one inside the other? Move the one with the actual game files to C:\Oldgames and see if that changes anything.

download DOSbox
download LION

go to computer > local disc c > users > (your name)

in there, create a folder called oldgames or whatever you desire, it doesn't matter.

unpack the lion download exactly to that folder

once done, open up DOSbox, and type in exactly as is typed in each line here

mount c c:\users\yourname\oldgames(or whatever you named the folder for it)

c:
cd lion
LION

it all should be typed in and entered in that order, LION should then start correctly.

hope this helps some people who weren't able to get it running.

I have spent the last four hours trying to get this game up and running. Your post saved me! Thank you; I bow to your superior tech skills!

congratulations, now you are not a virgin anymore!

however, you might be not able to mate as a male because you lack penis
