I got it to work by dragging the SIMANT.EXE onto the D-Fend Reloaded window. However, I cannot get the sound to work. Any tips on fixing the sound?

Okay, if any one of you wants to get ANY games to work, just use DOSBOX, Here is a step-by-step tutorial on it.
Step 1- Download Dosbox, (www.Dosbox.com)
Step 2- When you UNZIP this game UNZIP it into your main Hard Disk Directory.(Ex. C:\SIMANT)
Step 3- In DOSBOX, type in "mount C C:\Simant"
Step 4- Then, type Simant
Step 5-????
Step 6-PROFIT??

i keep downloading the game and every time its a compressed file and no game. can anybody help?
admin added this comment :
You can switch to full screen or extend the window. Try to hit ALT+ENTER once the game is running.
acid added this comment :
this game is fun but a lot harder to control that I remember...it's hard to do anything using dosbox at least since the window is so small.
admin added this comment :
Replaced the archive, some files were corrupted and the game could not be launched.
