Simple solution: Delete the SCORCH.PIF file. (It may show up in Windows Explorer as just "SCORCH" with an MS-DOS icon beside it.) The game will work fine. I'm not sure why that file is even incuded in the zip. I'm going to upload a new zip to the dosgames server to correct this problem, cuz I'm sure other people will have it too ...

PS. In my own defense, the game description, it does say: "PLEASE NOTE, there is a file in the archive called "SCORCH.PIF" (it will usually show up in Windows Explorer as just "SCORCH" with an MSDOS icon "Shortcut to MSDOS Program" as the description) if the game doesn't work DELETE this file. Do NOT delete SCORCH.EXE! ;)"
