I even ask me, if GOG could not offer some kind of standalone-DosBox, as I have seen already, some games from GOG seem to have somehow an integrated DosBox. Comin out from a pure Mac-environment, those Dos-Experiences led a somewhat twisted feeling in my mind. Thank you, yes, that Dos-Box is an idea, which I also begin to favorize, however then i'll have to learn again all those odd DOS-commands, which shocked me already in the early 90s - or does a todays DOS-Box mean, that an installer will take over all necessary installation-steps? But I'll also have to have in mind the problem with my 64-bit system. There is no way around this except to install a 32-bit OS, and that is no guarantee either, as I recall that they have problems on modern PCs anyway.īest and most legit solution is to install a legitimate copy of Windows 3.1 in DOSBox and run it from there. Both SimEarth and SimLife are 16-bit Windows apps and will not run on 64-bit versions of XP, WinVista, Win7 or Win8. Jamyskis: Fair warning - don't bother with the Windows versions if you are using a 64-bit operating system.
