The file you are downloading is a special package so that you can easily run this DOS game on Windows Vista, 7, 10 and 11, without any additional effort. The archive includes the required emulator (DOSBox) and it's already configured. All you need to do is uncompress the ZIP or 7z file into your Games folder (e.g. C:\OldGames\), then open the folder of the Game, and double click the icon "Name of the Game" (it's a ".bat" file).
Files for Mac can be run on all versions of OS X. You need to uncompress the 7z archive using the proper software (please use Keka to avoid problems). If the archive contains a DMG, double click it to mount the disk. After that, drag & drop the game icon into Applications (or another folder, Desktop will be fine too). New versions of MacOS block applications from identified developers. If you have this problem, just press Ctrl while clicking the game icon, and select Open. Alternatively you can use the “Open Anyway” button in the General pane of Security & Privacy preferences.
Q) How Can I change resolution of the game?
A) I recommend changing the config file. You can do this going to the "DOSBOX" folder and open dosbox.conf with notepad. In the config file change at the very top, "fullresolution=original" to something like "fullresolution=1024x768".
I recommend also changing "fullscreen=true" to "fullscreen=false" and then change "windowresolution=original" to "windowresolution=1024x768". It is just much easier to handle the game.
Basically my config looks like:
[sdl]
fullscreen=false
fulldouble=false
fullresolution=original
windowresolution=1024x768
