Hello everybody, I'm trying to play Rising Lands on Dosbox. Everytime I try to play it by mounting the .exe file it says "this is a windows 95 executable".
Is there any solution to that problem beside installing windows 95 on dosbox ?
Thx for your answers

Buy Windows
install Windows
(and I don't mean in DOSBox)

Guess what DOSBox emulates
it starts with D, ends with S
HINT: It does NOT start with W, and ends with S

Doesn't it work in recent Windows versions natively?
