Hi everyone,

O.K. here's my situation:

I have 1942 Pacific Air War gold edition but the CD version not the floppy version.
The retail box I have says Windows 3.1 but this was supposed to have been able to install under Windows 95...........My PC has Windows 8.1

I copied the disc contents to my C:\ drive to make installation easy.

When I opened dosbox to run the executable a "this must be run in windows" message appeared in the dosbox command line.

What do I do next?

Any help would be appreciated......I really want to run this game.

Thanks,
Stefos

Update

Would Ubuntu work for this game using Virtual Box?
