How To Download A Game For Dosbox On Mac Free

My love for Simcity began in the early 90’s with Simcity Classic. My family had just moved to Colorado from Omaha and we were staying with my uncle while they finished work on the house. I was first introduced to it when my uncle let me use his super fast 486 PC. I would sit for hours playing, and then let the game run by itself while my budget went up. I engrossed myself in every aspect trying to figure out the perfect measure of industrial, residential, and commercial lots. When Simcity 2000 came out my family’s PC was too slow to run it. I saved up every penny from babysitting and mowing lawns so I could buy a Sega Saturn, then I bought Simcity 2000. What followed were more countless hours building massive cities and trying to populate them with the Arcologies which were cities within cities. All this was followed by Simcity 3000, Simcity 4, then Simcity 4 with the Rush Hour expansion pack. A game I still play today more than any other. In fact you can now download hundreds of custom buildings and add-ons making the game even more incredible and realistic.I even have Simcity on my iphone.

Custom mods, add-ons, buildings, and maps for Simcity 4 Rush Hour / Deluxe can be found on these sites.

But I’m not writing about the newer version of Simcity today. Because I recently fell back in love with Simcity 2000 and I can still play it on Mac OS X, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 with DOSBox. (Even in Win7 x64!)

Anyone who hasn’t used DOS before are going to need to know a few commands first. DOSbox is a DOS emulator so all the commands work just the same but DOSbox also comes with some new ones for mounting CD’s, folders, etc. DOSbox for me has worked great with SC2k out of the box, so to speak. I haven’t had to change anything with the settings or setup a config file. Here are some simple instructions.

1. Download DOSbox for whatever OS you are using (http://www.dosbox.com/download.php?main=1) and install it.

2. Downloads Simcity 2000 (http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/82/SimCity+2000.htmlits free!) After you have downloaded it extract the files into a folder called SC2000 and put that on the root of your C: drive.

3. Run DOSbox and type int he following command at the Z: prompt. “mount c c:sc2000” (without the “”). This will mount the sc2000 folder as the C: drive so you can navigate to it in dosbox. Another option is to create a folder on C: called DOSgames and put all your games in there within separate directories. I currently have one with Simcity Classic, Simcity 2000, and Simant.

4. After the game folder is mounted you can navigate into it by typing “c:” at the z: prompt. This will automatically move you into the c mount. You can then type “dir” to get a directory listing and find the exe you need to run. Or just type “sc2000” to run the game.

A few other commands for browsing DOS:
cd is change directory. Example would be “cd C:sc2000”
cd will take you to the root.
cd.. will go up one directory

I leave you with some wonderful images of Simcity 2000 in action.

How can I download a game?

To download a DOS game from this website, please follow the steps below.

1. Click on one of the titles on the games page. You can also search by category, file type, year of creation, et cetera. You can also use the site's search engine.
2. A page with information about the particular game will show up. Click on the file download link below which you find below the header of 'Download from this site'.
3. A new page appears which gives you the possibility to download the file by clicking on the link. With most browsers, you'll see a pop up window asking you if you want to 'Open' or 'Save' the file. Choose 'Save'.
4. Your browser should then ask you in which folder you want to save the file. It's a good idea to create a special folder (called 'downloads' or 'dosgames' for example) in which you save the downloaded files. Then you will always know where your downloaded files are. Choose a folder and click on 'OK'. When this window appears, you should also make a note of the name of the download file; you will need to know that to find it later.
5. Your browser will then begin to download the file. How long this takes depends on the size of the file, the speed of your connection and the level of traffic on the webserver and the internet.
6. When the download is completed, you can close your browser.

How can I use the downloaded file?

After you downloaded a game from DOS Games Archive, you receive a ZIP file. Before you can run the game, you need to extract that ZIP file (in other words 'unzip') in order to get access to the game files. Follow the steps below to do that.

1. Go to the folder in which you saved the file.
2. Most operating systems are able to extract ZIP files without having to install an additional application. If you need an application to do that, you can use WinZip for example.
3. Unzip the files to a folder on your hard disk. After that go to the folder where the files are placed.
4. Read the answer to the question below on how to run the game on your computer.

How can I run the game after extracting?

Do you use Windows, Mac OS or Linux? Then it's a good idea to download DOSBox. This emulator can be downloaded from www.dosbox.com. With the help of DOSBox you can 're-live' the good old days. The application can run plenty of old games that don't run on your new computer without DOSBox. The software is totally free of charge and open source.

First download DOSBox, install the application and run it. Then you can navigate to the folder on your computer in which the downloaded game was extracted. Most games are equipped with an installation program or setup utility to install or configure the game. Look for setup.exe, install.exe or another executable file (EXE, COM or BAT) and run it by entering the file name. This step is different with each game.

Please follow the DOSBox tutorial for more information. Good luck and have fun!
