Hi,

I downloaded and unzipped one of the games on this website. I couldn't figure out how to play it until I clicked on the "How to play" page.

I have a Windows computer, so I downloaded DOSBox for Windows. The directions say "The game folder will be mounted as C:\ - just type the name the right .exe file and press enter"

There's definitely a word missing in that sentence, but what's more concerning is that I tried every variant of that direction I could think of with the catalog, and all I got was "Illegal command: [whatever I typed]"

Every single time.

How exactly is this supposed to work?
