I've been trying to get to this to work, but after a long headache I quit trying.
I had all of the files in a directory and tried mounting the "Play.bat" but couldn't figure out the correct setup to do so. Any help?

You could try to make a shortcut to the game, thats what i do when i use dosbox.
Create a new shortcut to the DOSBox .exe file, or copy the one created when you installed DOSBox.
Edit the properties of the shortcut.
At the end of the "Target" line, add, in quotes, the full path of the main game executable that you wish to launch.
For example, if "The Settlers 2" was installed into the folder C:\Games\Settlers 2\, and DosBox is installed at it's default location, the target box would contain:
"C:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.72\dosbox.exe" -conf "C:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.72\dosbox.conf" "C:\Games\Settlers 2\S2.exe"
NB: the -conf command line option, which is specified in the line above, is optional, since it refers to the default config file. However, if you use a custom config file, then you will need to retain this line, suitably amended to refer to your custom .conf file.
Syndicate eh? Im playing through the original Syndicate right now, it's a pretty good game.

I haven't played that since my CD32 had trouble and was repaired and came back without save games. I WAS IN THE LAST LEVEL!!! :'(
Anyway, I do have it for PC, but don't have it handy. I could check if it works on dosbox for you next weekend.

I downloaded it a couple of months ago, and I'm stuck on the levels where enemies show up...

Yeah, those agents are no joke. If theres plenty of civilians/police nearby persuade them to follow you until you have enough to persuade the agents if this is possible. If you do this just leave the other agents that will not help you accomplish this behind, as they may make the agents hostile.
There is a way to make your agents automatically attack hostiles but I haven't figured it out yet.

I spent ages trying to get this game working by piecing together bits from the demo and different abandonware sites. My policy these days is to wait for it to come out on GOG and if it doesn't then not play it.
