Itching to play Commander Keen, Duke Nukem, Zork!, or perhaps the original Leisure Suit Larry? All of these vintage DOS classics require DOSbox to play on a modern computer. Not only can DOSBox emulate DOS games and DOS applications on a PC or Mac, it can also be ported to the Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360, or Playstation 3 if you have the necessary firmware.
How to Download and Install DOSBox
Downloading DOSBox is easy; it's free and widely available from the official website. Simply navigate to the download tab and begin downloading your file. Run the installation executable and install as per usual.
Following the installation of DOSBox, a shortcut should be added to both your Quick Start menu as well as to the general treed application menu. Find the program and run it in order to see the command line, the basis of your experience with the program.
How to Use Commands in DOSBox, the Command Line Interface
DOSBox emulates DOS, or Disk Operating System, which powered many computers of the late 1980's into the 1990's, and was the standard operating system upon which Windows was initially integrated with Windows 3.1.

Should the basic commands prove to be inadequate, several GUI's or graphical user interfaces have been developed to ease the learning curve.
The most common commands in DOS are:
While there are plenty of other commands at your disposal, these will be the great majority of the tasks you will be undertaking in the OS. Remember, DOSBox has been successfully ported to the consoles as well (Wii, Xbox 360, PS3) and so can be installed and run perfectly on custom firmware.
The original Doom, Doom II: Hell on Earth and The Ultimate Doom do not run on Windows 7, due to incomplete MS-DOS support, and the total lack of a 16-bit subsystem on 64-bit versions. Doom 95 will run on Windows 7, but suffers from numerous bugs. Doom 3 will run fine on Windows 7.Note that the original DOS versions of these can be played in DOSBox. There are also ports of the Doom engine to Windows that will allow you to use the original data files from the DOS version, with essentially the same gameplay.
It can't be run in DOS mode because it relies on Windows-specific APIs. DOS mode is running the program in either DOS, or in a DOS box under Windows. Basically, it is saying that it can't run on DOS because it is not a DOS program.
