I downloaded a MS-DOS game and I can't play it. I double click on the game and it runs command prompt and then exits. Afterward nothing happens. I have a Windows XP. Is there a converter or a program to make it run?

you should get dos box: " dosbox.sourceforge.net"
it will emulate a computer that the game is designed to run on, sound, soundblaster, pc speaker, etc alot better than win xp's "command prompt"

WIndows XP doesnt have DOS. It cant run a DOS game like previous windows could. The DosBox answer is your best option

it is horrifying XD My well-liked Dos video games have been Quake, Doom, and Jill of the Jungle. In ye olde days many customary Dos video games switched to or have been linked to "Shareware". many times there became right into a Demo version you ought to Shareware so associates ought to objective the interest. that would help you come across them on issues like eBay or online. keep in mind your no longer easypersistent length is going to be something you would be wanting to maintain a watch on.
