How to Install 3 Skulls of the Toltecs

"3 Skulls Of The Toltecs" is a computer adventure game released in 1996 by Revistonic. Players control a cowboy named Fenimore Fillmore who finds a golden skull that may lead to great treasure. Players interact with the gameworld through a series of verbs presented on the bottom of the screen. The game is not easy to install on a modern operating system due to its age. Fortunately it is possible to install through the use of a freeware program called "DOSbox."

Instructions

  Download and install the latest version of "DOSbox." Double click the "DOSbox" icon on your desktop after installation to start the program. A window showing a command prompt will display.

  Insert your "3 Skulls Of The Toltecs" disk in your computer drive. Mount the game disk with DOSbox by typing "MOUNT c d:\" (without the quotations marks.) Substitute the "d:\" with the letter of your CD-ROM drive if it is not the "d" drive.
