Dark Legions by SSI on XP?

I found this old favorite sitting on a shelf in my room. I am trying to
get it to run on my XP Home edition.

Has anybody had any luck with this DOS game? I see DOS4GW.exe in it's
folder, so assume it wants to use that?

Thanks for any advice on this.

Try install DosBox 0.63 and then run it.

And don't forget to crank up the cpu cycles in dosbox to something
better than 10000 - it can be a bit sluggish otherwise.

I can recommend the D-Fend (read dosbox-frontend) graphical front end
for dosbox, you can set up things like that easily there. using dosbox
in command line mode can be very daunting in the beginning.
