    you need either dos box bochs or virtual pc they are all free

    then download free dos or install windows 95 or 98

    virtual pc is the easiest to use

    what you also can do is instal freedos or windows 95 or 98 on a differnt partition of your pc but i think thats not all that advisable for you

    Download Dos Box and run the game through that.
