      I know you can run programs in an earlier version of windows but have never tried it with a game.
      Try following this information from microsofts website on this matter.

      Open the Program Compatibility Wizard by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Programs, and then clicking "Use an older program with this version of Windows".

              If its the original version that runs under dos, download dosbox from dosbox.com.

              make a folder under windows such as c:\dos and once dosbox is running type mount c c:\dos
              that will give you a hdd under dosbox

              Then copy the stuff into C:\dos under windows, and try running the program in dosbox.

              Hope that gives you some ide.

                      Try installing Virtualbox on your computer and create a virtual machine with freedos on it.

                              It is a dos-based game, so Dosbox is your best bet.

                              try DBGL, its DosBox but with a nice front-end.

                                      PS1 games play very well with a PS1 emulator, have a look at ePSXe
                                      but PS2 emulators have not been as good, although there has recently been an update to the latest PCSX2 (PS2 emulator), which I haven't tried yet.
