GAMES - RUNNING SLAYER SOFTWARE GAMES WITH DOSBOX

Like many old DOS programs my old games no longer run properly on modern windows machines.
So to play The World of Bob or Bob Tron Forever you will need to use a DOS emulator to make your PC pretend it is an old one.

Once you have downloaded one of the game zip files from this site go to the DOSBox site and download the latest version of the emulator. Install the DOSBox program and it should create an icon on the desktop for you.

Next you need to setup a DOS area on your hard drive. Open "My Computer", browse to your C: drive and create a new folder called "dos". Then open the new dos folder and create a new folder in it for the game you want to install. For example "bob" for The World of Bob or "bobtron" for Bob Tron Forever.

Next you need to extract the downloaded game zip file into the folder you have created for it.

Now your DOS area is ready. Find the DOSBox icon on your desktop and double-click it to run the program.
You will then see the main command interface.


You now need to connect to the DOS area of your hard drive.
You do this with the "MOUNT" command, type mount c: c:\dos

If you've used a different folder name or drive you will have to change the last part accordingly.

Press enter and you should get the confirmation message: Drive C is mounted as local directory c:\dos\

Next you need to change to the newly mounted drive, to do this type c:


You then need to move to the directory of the game you wish to play, to do this you need the cd\foldername command.
Eg. cd\bob for The World of Bob or cd\bobtron for Bob Tron Forever.


Press enter to submit the command and you will be in the directory.
The last thing you need to do is enter the program name to run.
To run The World of Bob you need to type bob
To run Bob Tron Forever you need to type tron


Press enter and the game will run.
