Comment: Being an inexperienced dos user, please can you explain to me, what dos commands you type to play a game on dos, i use windows 95. i downloaded a dos game off the internet, the game says that you type "secret", but i've tried that by itself, without success, i've tried a web search, but, they seem to cater for experienced literate dos users,which i'm not, thanking you in anticipation.

Reply: (edit)Hi, All DOS games are different so there is no common method. As a first step open Windows Explorer, find your game folder and look for SECRET file. By the way you can find a few SECRET files with different extention. In that case at the first place always try to run *.BAT file, then *.COM file, and then *.EXE file. Let me know about results. Good luck, Igor M

Reply: (edit)First you hace to change to the directory where your game is located using the CD command. Then search for your game with the DIR *.EXE or DIR *.COM command. Then, you type in the name of your game.
