Step 3: Download and install a DOS Emulator (DOSBox)
Info: Not very many older DOS games can be played on modern PCs without using “emulator” software. Some games might start without an emulator under Windows, but you might experience problems like hearing no sound, no mouse is available or the game is simply too fast to play. If you have already tried to start the game directly under Windows and it did not work as desired, you should try to use the DOSBox emulator which you can download and use for free. An emulator makes sure that the sound and graphics work and that the speed of the games is normal. I recommend DOSBox since it's the best free software out there. The following instructions are based on DOSBox.
What to do: Go to the DOS Emulator Page, download DOSBox-Installer.exe and save the file to your hard drive into a folder of your choice (example: c:\dosbox\). Now start the file and install the software. If you want to uninstall DOSBox later on, you can use it's uninstall function to remove it from your PC.
