I recently found this game from 1996 i used to play. I've managed to install it no problem. But when i try to load the game up i'm left with a blank screen. I've been told i might need a DOS emulator, but this can be complicated if your computer illiterate like myself. Does anyone know where i can find a DOS emulator and how I would work such a thing?
Download DOSBOX, a free dos emulator that will work with most DOS games
Get it at http://www.dosbox.com/
Excellent. Ok, i've dowmloaded DOSBOX. I have no idea how to make it play the game. I don't know any DOS commands. Any ideas?
Yes; read the instructions. http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Basic_Se...
It's a computer program, not a magic wand.

Ok. Help so far has been brilliant. I 'm starting to get somewhere. I think i'm at the last hurdle. I need to find the EXE. file. How would i find out what that was called?
That's the .exe file for the game you wish to play. An example is Oregon.Exe for Oregon Trail. Skip
