Hi,

I just want to make a simple menu

ERRORLEVEL is always empty

@echo off
cls
echo ===========================
echo      DOSBox Game Menu
echo ===========================
echo 1. Casino Games
echo 2. Ante-Upa
echo 3. Lode Runner
echo ===========================
choice /c123 /n "Select an option:"

echo Selected option: %ERRORLEVEL%

if %ERRORLEVEL%==1 (
    echo "launching casino games"
    rem mount a: W:\GAMES\Poker\CasinoGames
    rem a:
    rem runme.bat
    goto end
)

if %ERRORLEVEL%==2 (
    echo "launching Ante Up"
    rem mount a: W:\GAMES\Poker\Ante-Upa
    rem a:
    rem FNPC.EXE
    goto end
)

if %ERRORLEVEL%==3 (
    echo "launching Lode Runner"
    rem mount a: W:\GAMES\RETRO\DOS\abandonware\LODERUN
    rem a:
    rem jouer.bat
    goto end
)

:end

if errorlevel 3 - you don't need the % or ==

Also errorlevel 1 means 1 or greater.

So you have to invert your if statements - put the test for 3 first

I don't know anything about putting statements in ( ) blocks - is that a thing?

I normally just say something like:

if errorlevel 3 goto L3
if errorlevel 2 goto L2
etc

then
:L3
statements
goto end

:L2
statements
goto end

etc etc

:END
exit
