Hi , I'm Cristina from Switzerland and I am a newbie 😊 Excuse me because I don't speak English very well, but I hope you'll be able to help me 😅 I read some threads and you seem to be very expert.

So, here it is my problem.
I'd like to play a game, "Lion", I downloaded it... is an old game so I needed DOSBox... I downloaded DOSBox. Following the instructions, found on this video on Youtube, I tried to do this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNVT8zyOyxg

But when I arrive at the point C:\>cd lion DOSBox says "Unable to change to: lion". I tried to repeat this many times but it continues to say this.
Did I do something of wrong ? How can I play at the game ? What I have to do ? 🙁
Thank you 😊 And please, excuse my mistakes 😁

Type dir. That will show you which folders exist in the directory you mounted. If you mounted lion as C it will show you the game files instead. Mount the folder that lion is in.

unzip it, mount it and then do a dir command there.
