Got the Pc game Entomorph from the mid 1990's. loaded fine but when i try to run the game in dos....I get the message "this is a windows NT executable". Anyone know what this means and what i can do to run the game????

runs on PC(DOS), windows 3.1 and mac a pretty old game. I assume it is old 16 bit DOS code. The exe header has a field that indicates the OS the file is for. if you are running this under a emulator they most likely generalized the error. WinNT had a DOS and OS/2 subsystem and would support .exe linked for them.

I am not sure it will be worth the effort to run the game.


 


DOSBOX will NOT run any game compiled against the Windows OS, which this one apparently is.
