You are going to have to explain your problem a lot better than that, because no one is going to be able to help you from that description.

If you are illegally downloading an old copy from some random Internet site, then you should ask the people who are hosting the download as it is rather hopeless trying to troubleshoot such things.

If you have the original disks for the program, then please explain what you are doing with them.

Spiderman and Captain America: Dr Doom's Revenge should be started with a .bat file with the following lines:

sound.com ba000
marvel.com

This activates the Adlib driver (presuming that you have Adlib/Soundblaster enabled in Dosbox, or an Adlib compatible card in real DOS) and then launches the game. You don't run 'marvel1.exe' or 'marvel2.exe'.

I donmt know enough to describe it any better. I was hoping for an old Dos or a C64 but you have to programme them too i think. I have never done it before.

Didn’t realise these things were illegal if they were funded.

If you want something that just works without any effort, then I suggest you stick to sites like Steam or gog.com .

If you want to figure out how to use DOSBox, then I suggest you start with a legitimate free game that is known to work, such as those available at http://www.classicdosgames.com .

If you cannot describe your problem at all, then anyone you ask is just going to be fumbling around in the dark.

I have no idea what you mean by "funded".
