Frequently Asked Questions


The following information has been added to help with any problems you may come across. If however the information you require is not here please either email me and I will help as much as possible, and even add the question to this page if it is relevant.

I've made a game, can I host it on your site?
Send us an email with a description of the game and a link to either more information or from where to download the game. Please do not email game files directly to us they will be automatically deleted.

Why are the game downloads on another site called MediaFire?
Due to the popularity of the site our server could not take the bandwidth. However MediaFire provide file hosting capabilities where we keep our own copies of each download so you know that they are safe and only uploaded by us.

How can I get Championship Manager (or another DOS game) to work?
I am sorry but DOS games are not particularly well supported in Windows XP. This means that you may have trouble running a small selection of games on the site, although over 95% of games on this site are designed to run in Windows 95+. However all games on this site have been run successfully on a test Windows XP machine, however those with little PC knowledge may find it difficult to replicate these results.

Where do I get the games from?
They are in the Games section. Select your favourite genre on the left then pick a game out of the list. If you like the screenshots and the review sounds good then scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the download link. When prompted save the game to your desktop.

I've downloaded a game, but how do I play it?
All files that you download are zipped up. This is a way to compress the data to keep download times to a minimum. It does however mean that you have to have an unzipping tool on your computer. Windows XP has one already built in, but the most commonly used third-party version is Winzip. Download it here for free. Once it is downloaded double-click it to install.

I've got a copy of Winzip, now what do I do?
You need to unzip the files. This is done by loading up the downloaded game. Now press the button called Extract. Make sure the checkbox called Use folder names is selected, then enter the folder name you wish to install the software in, eg. c:\games\happy for Happyland Adventures. Once you get the game running you can delete this zip file.

I've unzipped everything, but how do I start playing?
Open up the folder and double click on the exe file to load the game. One of two things will happen, firstly the game might start - in this case, play! Else it may come up with an install screen, in which case you should follow the prompts and install the game in the manner it leads you through. NB. Do not install into the same folder, as this may cause it to not work properly.

How do I set up and play the game?
Most games carry a readme file. Load this file up and give it a read, it will normally explain the storyline, and controls and how to prepare the settings. Have fun!

I have another question, who can help me?
If the above has not helped you enough then please send an email to gosfish@hotmail.com and as much help as possible will be sent. However please remember, apart from the Gosfish Original games, we do not directly support any of the games nor do we take responsibility for you damaging the set up of your PC from downloading and installing the games found on this site.
