Anyone know how to get DOS Games to work on XP?

Yeah, what is this ancient "Dos" i speak of?

I really want to play some of the old stuff but technically XP doesn't have DOS.. it simulates it.

I've heard of DOSBOX which apparently emulates (don't worry gamespot, we're talking about shareware and freeware) DOS to be able to run those games. But for whatever reason I could mount the destination folder, but I'm stuck on what to do afterwards.

Does anyone know how I could go about getting these old dos games to work, not necessarily through this program but maybe another?

I like to use DOSBOX with the D-FEND interface. Makes things much simpler than the command-line crap.

Dos Box is your best bet mate. I spent a whole load of time researching how to get them to work and it really is the best program. It is really easy to learn how to use it. Once downloaded you can use wikipedia to help you understand how to put commands into the interface to get the games working. I have used Dosbox numreous times in the pat to play Quake and Doom.

DOSBOX + King's Quest = a good afternoon.

yep, DOSBox is the daddy

DosBox is the best program for Dos games.
