I made this by request from a friend, so if you don't like this thread, then please dont't say anything bad

anyway, here is a complete tutorial:

for readers(if you want to look at a vid, go to bottom):

download the emulator, DOSBOX, located here:

http://emulator-zone.com/doc.php/computer/dosbox-win.html

install it

now, download Doom 95(this is shareware, and is NOT illegal, it is free and is to be distributed free, so it should be allowed in these forums, right?):

http://www.mediafire.com/?mmx4anbmcbd

unzip the Doom archive and place the folder doom1 in the root of your hard drive(C:)

ok, now start DOSBox
