Aside from that, you could use a thumb drive and install DOS and your game.
That's what I did. Though the sound does not work for some reason.

Dosbox is a DOS emulator that should help you out. I use it to run old DOS games in XP.

DOSBOX is your answer. I've used it to play MANY of my old DOS games on my WindowsXP system. Works like a champ!
Good luck.

nope.
But you can start your computer in dos mode by using a dos startup disk and then running the program.
