U need just dosbox, nothing else.
dosbox u get here:

i can give only confirmation 4 vista-32.

Very, very possible both games will run also with your system: http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/DOSBox_an..._and_Windows_7

i'm following all the dosbox guides,
have mounted c drive, just can't seem to cd to game folder, which is sitting on my desktop????
dosbox is saying "unable to change to...:
game folder name is "aotd"
i'm typing into dosbox: cd aotd
then it spits out the error message above?
what am i doing wrong?

Well, someone posted a great tip!
Drag the dos game exe onto the dosbox exe and all will be done automatically!
It works!
only problem is that aotd runs in a very small window?
dosbox window only, i can't make window bigger!
workaround to make window bigger?
