Description
Ladies and gentlemen, for those of you who need to use it in a more modern version of windows, you may need a 3rd party program. Dosbox is a game emulator that you must mount the image of the game onto. There is a link provided below in ′how to play abandonwares′ that gives information on different emulators. For dosbox, all you must do is load the program, and you′ll be given a ′dos′ prompt. You must mount the image of the drive location of the games you′d like to play. For instance, if my games folder is located in c:games I would need to type
mount d c:games you then change directories by typing d: and the games you have will be in the folders assigned. To change directories within a drive, for instance, if the game WAS in c:gamess2g which is how settlers 2 comes, I′d change to d: and then type cd s2g and you′re in the folder with the game, type s2 and the game comes up.
Other noteable button combos for dosbox are alt + enter will maximize the screen, and on most games ctrl+f12 speeds up and ctrl+f11 slows down. That′s as generally comprehensive as I can be in a comment.
nothing i download works on my version of win7 64bit even when i put it into compatability mode

Download and install ′DosBox′
run it
type ′mount d c:s2g′ (the directory)

For sound run the setup up first

Game is a city builder with some basic combat. At the time it was 7or8/10, but its aged quite badly in terms of gameplay, now 4or5/10. Game is enjoyable, but mainly for nostalgic players.

Launchbox is just a launcher, you can put any DOSBox you want on it, I use SVN-Daum (mainly for the v-sync to avoid crazy screen tearing).
Check out http://www.siedler25.org as reimplementation/mod which uses the old graphics.
this game is awesome, I also suggest you guys playing settlers IV. Played it with my dad aswell ^^
I used to play this game with my dad when I was a little kid now I am 19 and still find this game awesome!
Ha! I used to play this game when I was a little kid and now I am 34 and I still play this game :p.
Why are you all using JUST DOSbox? Use the far superior LaunchBox *(Which includes DOSbox and many more emulators) that does a lot of this behind the scenes work for you? I got the newest version *(4.6 as of this typing) and it works like a dream for me.
David: Yes, if you install the free Dosbox program it will work in that.

I was 6 year old, when my dad bought this game and I played it. This is the best game of all the settlers saga, no doubt.
you dont need a emulator you just extraced the files and you get a .exe
file of the game!!!!!!!!! :D!!!!!!
Awesome game (just a little slow).That music is still stuck in my head since i first played a decade ago.
get DE-Fend Reloaded to play older games. GUI based, easy to use, has many features. free download last I checked
Gracias
Hi, what programs do I need besides WINzip because every time I unzip the file and select either ′Install′ or ′Setup′ it doesn′t let me do anything! Really looking forward to playing this game again!
Help would be great 🙂
