If the game was written for DOS, then DOSBox is the best way to go.

You will need to be familiar with how DOS works to use it. (It emulates DOS down to the fine details) There are graphical tools out there which can help you use it.

If you have Microsoft Windows Vista Business, Enterprise, or Ultimate, you can use Microsoft Virtual PC to run an older version of Windows inside of Windows Vista.

Hope this was helpful!
