Does anyone know how to get these games running in Dosbox? I have The Full Wormage version of United (which also has Reinforcements on the disc):
http://worms.wikia.com/wiki/Full_Wormage_(game_pack)
(Not the Sold out version), and can't get it to run. I've copied the disc to my C drive and get run the INSTALL.exe file which comes up and asks to install 20MB and to choose a drive (I choose C:\WORMS) and then it installs the files, but when its done, it then creates a second folder C:\WORMS\WORMS, then when that finishes it does it again etc. yet there's nothing being created in C:\WORMS.
I think this is for Worms Reinforcements because on the root of the disc there's 'WU' folder with similar contents as the root of the disc (if you know what I mean). WU obviously meaning Worms United.

Try installing from the CD instead. I only have the SoldOut version, which installs everything in one go, but I presume the process is similar for you:
1. Put the game CD in the drive and run DOSBox.
1. Mount your disk drive and CD drive (replace "c:\" with your disk drive and "d:\" with your cd drive):
mount c c:\
mount d d:\ -t cdrom -ioctl
2. Run the installer on the CD:
d:
install
3. After it scans the CD select "Install Worms (80meg)" and follow the instructions.
4. When it's done exit the installer and run the game (it should put you automatically in the game folder):
worms
5. Have fun! Note that the game needs the CD in the drive to run.

Full Wormage pack? Worms United already is a fusion of the initial game and its expansion, what reason would there be to add Reinforcements seperately? :confused:

No idea. I mainly bought it for Worms 2 at the time anyway.
