Instructions:

1.- Rebel Assault II is a 1995 DOS game so in order to make it work you'll need Dosbox which emulates that operating system. Download Link

2.- Once you have installed DOSBOX, you'll need the Rebel Assault 2 videogame.

3.- Now that you have both the emulator and the game you can start setting it up. Unzip the contents of the Rebel Assault.zip or game you downloaded on a hard drive folder (Try to make it easy to access and with a simple name) for example C:\rebel2

4.- Step four will be a bit more complicated as you'll have to open DOSBOX and insert the following commands to make the game run. So open DOSBOX and tipe the following commands in the order placed below.

4.1   Z:\>MOUNT C C:\ 

* Mount tells to mount a directory, while C:\ determines what that directory will be, you have to change it to whatever hard drive the game folder will be into.

4.2.- Z:\>C: 

   

 *To access the hard drive that has been previously mounted.

4.3.- C:\>cd rebel2

     

     * The cd command means change directory (which is case sensitive so write it in low case), and rebel2 means the folder in which I unzipped the game, so change to whatever the folder containing the game is named.

4.4.- C:\rebel2>rebel2.exe

     * Finally, once the game folder is established you'll have to input the executable (.exe) of the game, in this case rebel2.exe. And you are done!

   A cap for how it should look

For some useful DOSBOX tips tipe Intro!

For those having issues with saving their progress, just write down the passcodes the game gives after completing each mission (they can also be found online). Be mindful that they are different for each stage and difficulty level!

Happy old-school gaming!
See you guys soon!
