Are you trying to run those games natively? DOSBox can be a better bet for you.

Intel i7 5960X
Gigabye GA-X99-Gaming 5
8 GB DDR4 (2100)
8 GB GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming (Gigabyte)

Odd, as the default installer incudes sdl.dll, maybe check that this
file is present (C:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.65\sdl.dll).

Illegal downloads are often full of weird bugs due to errors in the re-packaging process. It is difficult enough to debug real DOSBox error without having to combat errors in the games itself, so don't expect much help.

If you can find a legitimate download (e.g. a demo) of the game that you want to install, please come back, post a link to the legal version, and we will do our best to help you.
