Today one of my friends called me and we started talking about video games, mostly 16-bit games that ran in DOS. He then mentioned something about wanting to find a good space flight sim, I started searching for a download; being as this game was made for DOS it wasn't hard to find one, just trying to find one where a sign up wasn't required was harder.

Earlier my friend helped me setup up DOSBox to run games, so I ran Space Simulator and did everything that I could think of and still couldn't get it to run.

I am fairly new to DOSBox and was wondering if someone here could help me out some.

Here is where I got the download for the game...http://www.emuparadise.org/Abandonware_Games/Microsoft_Space_Simulator_%281994%29%28Bad_Ltd%29/100345#User_Media

Just scroll down and click the direct download link.

Forget that old bird, you and your pal want Orbiter 2010. It's free, has many add-ons and get Dan's sound package too.
