At least for windows games (SimTower) you can't use D-O-S-Box.
It's odd, i know.

No. He's saying that you need to run a WINDOWS game in WINDOWS.

What happens when you try to run Sim Tower in Windows? Does it mention something about AUTOEXEC.NT or CONFIG.NT?

This isn't a general computing helpsite. Such questions should be asked elsewhere. Like Google.

Yes, it’s my fault.

Please use your eyes and your brain and read the thread. You cannot run Sim Tower in DOSBox because it is not a DOS game.

Yes, it’s my fault.
