GO FOR IT. These might even work for Windows Vista.
I have gotten some old DOS programs to work with Windows XP... but have not tried them on Vista yet. WHO KNOWS, these really old games might out-live Microsoft.
Oddly enough, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 quits after you install Internet Explorer 7; so it probably won't work with Windows Vista either.
Good luck and Happy Computing!

XP has a compatibility mode which may work; or
You could use VMware to create a virtual Windows 95/98 enviroment or
You can create a "dual boot" system with Windows 95/98 in the other partition.
Good luck.

win 95/98 games should work using compatibility mode.
As to older DOS games, I doubt it! (That is one of the reasons why I still have an older DOS machine, as well as newer systems!!)
