DOSBox

Why use DOSBox?

Unfortunately, many modern computers aren't compatible with our oldest games, AstroFire and TerraFire, which were written for an operating system called DOS.

If you encounter problems, or if you're running an unsupported operating system (e.g. Mac or Linux), you can still play these games from within a program called DOSBox.

DOSBox is a free DOS emulator. Basically, it lets you simulate an old-style PC on your modern computer.

1. Download DOSBox from the official website and install it to C:\DOSBOX
2. Install AstroFire to C:\DOSGAMES\ASTRO and TerraFire to C:\DOSGAMES\TERRA
