Hi,
I'm godawful with computers, and looking through the tutorials have not helped. I use a Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

I want to play a Magic School Bus game on my Mac for a Let's Play walkthrough, and I have no clue how to start.
I insert the CD ROM and two shortcuts appear on my desk: One has the soundtracks, and the other has all of the game codes. I'm afraid to touch these because if I delete anything the CD will be useless.

I'll try to give an example of what I see:
There is a CD shortcut called MSEE100_01

If I click on it I see autorun.inf, setup.hlp, setup.exe, and two folders, one marked MSBEARTH and PSS

MSBEARTH file has three folders: Setup16, Setup32, and System

PSS has three folders: DRIVERS, MSBINFO, and UNINSTL.BAT

First off, how do I get this to run? Is my CDROM in a D drive, or somewhere else in a Mac? Do I need to install a copy of Windows 95 on DOSBOX or can this play as is?
And since it's not a simple choice of Play, Options, or Uninstall the CD (since there are so many files I can individually access) how do I go about playing this?

I'm really bad with computers so the more detail the better. Thanks!

Instal Virtualbox or Parallels or VMware Fusion.

DOSBox is for Dos games.
