DOS Games Discussion

Indeed, as listed on the game's info page:

Platform : Windows 9.x / XP

Indeed.
Ah well, glad you found it finally.

As for W8: Basically the same of Win7. Be sure to use the latest version of dosbox!! Also certainly use your home folders or another partition than C: http://thumbnails110.imagebam.com/31517/55cbd2315168014.jpg (don't mind the color scheme, not my PC .....)
