Look at the requirements. Does it say Windows?

I am pretty sure the game is for windows 95if that is what you mean, I could post the site but I dont know if you allow it.

DOSBox runs DOS programs. Unless you configured DOSBox in a certain way to load Windows 95 with, it doesn't run Windows programs.

ah ok I see what you mean. Well It was a PC game made for win95 but it is in dos format now. would screenshots help?
Thanks

I don't see how a Win95 game can become "DOS format". Try running it in Windows with compatibility mode.
If you have a copy of an older Windows you could try Virtual PC too.

ok i am clearly out of my depth. I pmed you with the link of where I downloaded it. I checked the site again and I realise that system it is for is MSDOS which I expect means its in DOS format.

oh and i also have tryed compatibilty mode and I got a little bit further then it got an error too

Found this.

System requirements
Windows 95/98/98SE/ME
Pentium 166 or better
32MB of RAM

so does that mean it works or not?

Sure this game works. Just not in a DOS emulator.

Adds new meaning the term RTFM, doesn't it?

ok so can anyone explain how I get this game to work?]

this is what the game folder looks like;

Ask on some "how do i get windows games to work" forum.

brilliant idea !! thanks ever so much!

No problem. Obviously.

Besides, this is a pirated copy of the game, which won't bring you much love on VOGONS. Goodbye & have a nice day.

I still couldn't get it to run under XP.

You could send a bug report to microsoft, or try some virtualizer along with a win9x installation.

what happens exactly ?

Nothing happens when I launch the game through setup.exe
