Hi all.
I been following guides to try to get oldgames running (Darkseed2 to be precise)
I followed guides everywhere
Created an oldgames folder
running dosbox
typed mount c c:\ldgames to mount that directory as the drive.
and then...when I try to run my game I get a message saying
"This program requires Microsoft Windows"
can anyone explain me how to fix this? thanks.
here I leave an image with the error
you are running a window executable/game inside a dos emulator.

Obviously it requires Microsoft Windows.
If it's a Windows 3.1 game, and you have a copy of Windows 3.1, you can see this guide for help, or try to run it on your normal version of Windows (the NTs, including 2000, XP, Vista (64-bit version have no support at all), have limited support for such legacy applications, your mileage may vary)
Im running windows XP by the way
So in short I need to get windows 3.1 to run this...great
thanks for the help
nah.
darkseed 2 was released in 1998.
Probably requires windows 95/98
Although I've seen reports that it works in XP .

According to MobyGames, it was released in 1995 and has both DOS and Windows 3.1 versions.

darkseed1!=darkseed2, Qbix is correct.
http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/dark-seed - 1992
http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/dark-seed-ii - 1995
Need any more explanation?
Presumably way more relevant:

Yes.
I don't know what the correct release would be. Could be either.

The one wd linked to is obviously a compilation of two games, it says nothing at all about the release date of Dark Seed II. That would be like using the Interplay 10th Year compilation to claim that Wasteland was (originally) released in 1993.
And the compilation is much more likely to be the game mentioned here.
But of course a homebrew game with the same name in the second
generation could also be the point of interest here.
