You might need some help with getting it setup. It can be more complicated than this little rookie game they call WitP-AE
Try using Dosbox to get it to run, and then come back and complain about micromanaging in WitP-AE. No comparison.
DosBox Emulator
Playing it right now...doesn't get much better than this when you get back to the basics and not a B[:@]RKED game.
Running it on Win7 btw.
One of the first and a classic. I think Matrix have given this one away from their earliest beginning.
The term DOS will be something many people brought up on Windows will not know or if they do not understand how it worked. This makes me feel old.
For those who have never played an old DOS game they are missing out on some fine classic but the graphics are, how shall I put it, simple. I won't use the term poor as it was all we had at the time especially on the PC with it four primary colours. If you go further back to the Apple ][ era it's colours where better it had 16 (red, bright red, green, bright green etc) so the PC was a step back. But the PC was not built for gaming it was a business machine and in business mode it gave you two colours, green/Amber or not Green/Amber dependant on the type of monitor you had.
