Launching and running MS-DOS Games
Here is probably the most stupid question to ask? But herego's........I have been a PC owner for the past year and had bought several DOS games(Aces of the Deep by Sierra and WOLFPACK by Nova-Logic) and CANNOT get these games launched even though i have tried every command i could think of! Now granted i have no trouble at all with Windows Games but i had just about given up on playing these excellent simulators until i did some research and luckily found you guys(and gals i suppose) but anyway can SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME in getting in to these respective games to get the enjoyment out of them that i know awaits me!
Can we have some details about a) your machine and b) what happens when you try to launch (nice pun) these simulators?

The vast majority of DOS games should run from windows by a link. ie. click the icon on your desktop and it will launch the DOS game automatically. You can change the properties on the link to various configurations of DOS to suit the game itself. If you need more help on this, then ask.
Make a dos boot disk .When you feel like playing these games shut your computer down put in your boot disk and restart .
Works great for me .If you need help with this just ask and I'll
be glad to help. :)
