Found this and ran it on my Windows 7 system - here's the intro to one of the coolest games at its time (Also Janes ATF Gold) was the first game I flew online back in 95/96

I have Jane's Longbow. It won't work on my computer because I don't have DOS or something like that.

I loved that game!  I have tried a time or two to get it work on my computer but with no luck.

You boys need Dos Box, google it - its a program to run old games on the upgraded computers, its free and can run any dos game.

DOSbox

This is must be the coolest thing I have ever used! It works great on my Win7 Ultimate 64bit rig for running older games all the time.

Dont bother looking at the new game Janes is coming out with Its a direct  Console port and  looks like  a Ace Combat knock off. I was excited when I saw the name Janes but threw up a. little watching the game play

Wish DOSBOX existed a while back.  I bagged up three large garbage bags of DOS games and through them away. :furious

I remember having to run a program to slow down my CPU cycles.  Apparently games that worked well on a 386 just zoomed by too quick to play on a Pentium!
