I was looking through a charity shop earlier and found an old Smurfs game that my little sister loved when she was wee so I bought it for my kid. The Smurfs The Teletransportsmurf by Infogrames.

I was just wondering if I can get this thing running in Dosbox? It's been so long since I used Dos I wouldn't know where to start. :)

You can try to run the game with D-Fend Reloaded: http://dfendreloaded.sourceforge.net/index.html?lang=en
You have a frontend with an integrated Dosbox then. It will help you to configure it automatically in most cases. Feel free to ask if you have any trouble while using this, but i think, you won`t have any trouble :)

According to a quick Google Search, that's a Window game so dosbox won't be any help. Do you have a dos version?

This abandonware website claims it's compatible with DosBox 0.73 and higher.

Try dragging smurf.exe to the dosBox shortcut.

Is it required to use the cd after installation? If it`s an Dos game and the CD is required to play, you should download the above mentioned front and try this tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGUplUNFfKE

EDIT: to mount the cd-rom (if neccessary) take a look at this too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9VB75N9bfs
