Larax & Zaco? http://www.mobygames.com/game/larax-zaco Found it by searching this: dos bomb structure split screen I tried dos building demolition, etc, then got the idea to try structure and adding split screen, and that seemed to do it I even found old threads here and in other places asking a...

Perhaps try mounting the ISO directly in DOSBox? It's a wonderful DOS emulator.

I remember playing the DOS Firepower before. It's named the same, assuming it's this one: http://www.mobygames.com/game/fire-power
Mobygames has lists of games for various systems, too. You might be able to find some of these on there.

You're welcome.

I must've found it! Three Dirty Dwarves http://www.mobygames.com/game/three-dirty-dwarves http://www.mobygames.com/game/three-dirty-dwarves/cover-art/gameCoverId,10857/ certainly fits the description of the characters. Aha, there's the dog-covered boss: http://www.mobygames.com/game/sega-saturn/thre...

That sounds like Catacomb Abyss, like http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/catac ... otId,1916/ and http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/catac ... otId,1917/
It's got a whole lot of fireball shooting, and a skull guy. First thing I thought of.

It makes me think of Dominus.

Where do you have the game stored? If it's in program files somewhere, that could be why. http://www.dosgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10437 or http://www.dosgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13511 give instructions on avoiding that in general with DOSBox and games. c:\users\your name\oldgames\ is a ...

Tyrian :D http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/tyrian/screenshots/gameShotId,2910/ But really, that sounds like it could probably be a lot of vertical scrolling shooters. Others that come to mind are Kiloblaster, Major Stryker, and Raptor: Call of the Shadows. Maybe something you can find in http://www...

Seek and Destroy?

A quick search brought me to a game named POP! http://www.hotud.org/component/content/article/41-puzzle/22819 by Zero Entertainment: "Your job is to guide Pop, a cute balloon dog, to the moon." I checked http://www.hotud.org/component/jreviews/tag/developer/Zero+Entertainment/criteria:3/ b...

I'd hazard a guess at Out of This World, AKA Another World http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/out-o ... creenshots
Maybe in EGA mode? I realize it's not exactly a jungle, but eh.

That's gotta be Commander Keen 1 through 3, then. He does pick up teddy bears, among other things.
The second, I want to say Dark Ages, but I'm not sure. I don't remember blue ceilings and floors...

That sounds like my memories of Cyberbykes.

Oh, man. Awesome. I knew that image reminded me a lot of something I'd played. Luckily, while bored in DOSBox I went dir /p in my dos games directory, saw ARCTIC, and went oh yeah, that's what it was. I know I've had some old memories of games turn out to be pretty distorted, so I'm glad I took a ch...

Could it be distorted memories of Arctic Adventure, by chance? http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/arctic-adventure/screenshots/gameShotId,3481/ http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/arctic-adventure/screenshots Er well, "top down" it's not, except in the level select.. I'm probably totally off ...

Tyrian/Tyrian 2000? http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/tyria ... creenshots

Windows-compatible, now. Huh.

It is definitely "Operation: Inner Space", which they are still selling after all this time: http://www.sdispace.com/inspace.htm The court: http://www.mobygames.com/game/operation-inner-space/screenshots More screenshots: http://www.mobygames.com/game/operation-inner-space/screenshots Wild...

That's most definitely Operation: Inner Space: http://www.sdispace.com/inspace.htm Still being sold! More screenshots: http://www.mobygames.com/game/operation-inner-space/screenshots I remember the police, tractor beams that they'd use and you can use to spin debris and stuff around your ship, pirat...
