I've recently been interested in playing DOS games. The game I chose to play first is The Simpsons - Barts House of Weirdness. It's one of the few games I remember playing on my brother's old PC back in the day. So I was pretty disappointed when I saw that the game itself wouldn't install. I followed a YouTube video tutorial I found here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=52802 … earch&plindex=1

It was very useful. Unfortunetely, the game I tried to run wasn't Doom. Still, I assumed the steps would work with all other DOS games. I followed those steps found in the tutorial to the letter, which were easy, but I couldn't get beyond the 'install' bit. Here's what I did:

-downloaded the latest DOSBox version and installed it
-couldn't figure out for the life of me what to do with it, so I Google/Video searched it
-followed the steps used in the video link above

-launched DOSBox
-typed in (without quotes) - "mount c c:\DOSGAMES" then hit enter <Right before I did that, I did make a directory of DOSGAMES within the C drive
-typed in "c:" then hit enter
-typed in "dir" then hit enter, where I saw the contents of the game, which I had extracted into the DOSGAMES directory earlier
-typed in "install", and that's where I got stuck. It told me that it's an illegal command.

I sent a message to the person who made that video, and he suggested I check the compatability of the Bart game at http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/ I did so, and it said version 0.62 works with it. Now, I was unsure if it meant that the game itself will only work with that version of DOSBox, or it's been compatible with DOSBox since version 0.62. Either way, I downloaded the latest version, along with 0.62, and I keep getting stuck at the 'install' part. Can someone help me here?

As for the specs of this PC, I just know some general information, not complete details. I hope that's enough to help.
