When your dosbox prompt is c:\lion> input dir /w
Take a look what you get, if you don't see a lion.exe you screwed up somewhere, most usual beginners screwup is creating a double lion folder when unzipping, eg: you have another 'lion' dir in your first lion dir.
If yes, copy everything from your second lion folder into your first one (do it in Windows). Try again then (dosbox restart needed here).

Also: don't use the build in Win unzipper, but something as http://www.7-zip.org/

Also²: some more details if things still goes wrong would be helpful.......

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that.

Alright (Sorry double post)
There is no Lion.exe
I tried redownloading it and unzipping it, while loading all the files into a new folder and the exact same thing happened. I'm none too certain about manually unzipping a folder.

I know my version of the game has a Lion.exe in it that I got from this site. I will redownload it and double check it is there in the archive, otherwise it might need to be setup or installed in some way first. BRB with info.

*Edit* Game redownloaded and there is a Lion.exe in the archive. If you don't have the view settings set to show the .exe it will be listed as Lion and as an application. Remember double check that you haven't unzipped the Lion folder into another folder called Lion, i.e you open up the folder you created while unzipping and inside it is another folder called Lion. If that is the case then as Dosraider said copy everything out of the second folder and move it into the first one.

Ok; with the info you gave me I was able to open LION, but now it gives me this every time I try to start the game:
hr_hires.c #1.-1
C:\LION>

And I can't type anything.
I realise this was discussed earlier but as far as I can see it was never resolved. Has anyone solved this problem?

Sorry-but does anyone actually know how to solve the hr_hires.c #1.-1 problem?
I've checked websites all over the net, and nothing...

I get the same error if I try to run the game from C:\

LIONS.CFG file says "CDPATH=C:\LION", so you have to run the game from C:\LION or you can edit the path in the configuration file.

Ahh.
I tried it on my mom's laptop and it worked: so now I'm playing it but I have a few problems:
There is no sound-I can't find a setup path
I don't know how to kill hyenas or humans.
I don't know how to mate
It takes three minutes to load a scenario.
Is there anything I can do to fix/improve this list?

Read the review: "Neither has the sound, but then again, this is also something you will have to forgive us for not adding, the archive would be much larger that way."
Register to the site and get the full CD image from the ISO cellar if you want sound.

Read the manual? You can download it from the game's extras section.

In DOSBox input (or change them in the dosbox.conf):
cycles max
core dynamic
before you start the game. Then the game loads faster but once it has loaded you might want to decrease the CPU cycles with Ctrl+F11 if the game runs too fast.

When I download, it it says it failed...
