Unfortunately, some modern computers just aren't compatible with our oldest games, AstroFire and TerraFire, which were originally designed for an operating system called DOS.
If you do encounter problems, or if you're running a non-supported operating system (Windows 7, Vista, Mac OS X, Linux, etc), you can still play these games from within a program called DOSBox.
DOSBox is a free DOS emulator - it lets you simulate an old-style PC on your modern computer.
How To Use DOSBox
Download DOSBox from the official website and install it to C:\DOSBOX
Install AstroFire to C:\OLDGAMES\ASTRO and TerraFire to C:\OLDGAMES\TERRA
Run DOSBox and type the following line (press the ENTER key at the end of the line):
MOUNT C C:\OLDGAMES
To run AstroFire, type the following two lines:
CD C:\ASTRO ASTRO.EXE
...or to run TerraFire, type:
CD C:\TERRA TF.EXE
Further Help
ORT Software has no connection to DOSBox, so if you need further support, please visit the official website,
which includes a much more detailed tutorial than the one above.
