When I was little I used to play this math game every single day I Iove this game so much it really helped me get through school and I have been trying to find it ever since my old computer crashed. This math game is so much fun.

How are you getting it to run on DOSBox0.74? I mount the drive and enter "cd WINDOWS" "DIR" WIN and a Windows 3.X pops up with 4 icons, but the game still shows a black screen. Do I need to install it within DOSBox first? Help!
