Hi there,

I am looking to some advice for playing the F29Retaliator game on my G5/iSight iMac with DOSBox 0.72 and Dapplegrey installed...I get:

"This program must be run under Win32" ...

How can I solve this (please be as specific as possible, I just installed DOSBox)?

Regards
Ritske

"This program must be run under Win32" means that this executable is no dos program and needs to be run under a windows operating system with win32 api. You need at least win95.

A PC emulator with Windows installed? VPC? VMware?

Maybe it will run on Windows 3.11 with installed Win32s?

As noted several times, this is most likely a SELF EXTRACTING executable
that only runs under win32, so either get some program for osx that can
extract the files, or BUY the original game.
