    If that is a 16bit game, your probably not going to be able to play it. Look for a file called install.exe or any type of .exe file.

    This is a rather extreme way to do it, install VMware or Virtualpc and run Windows95 in that virtual window. Just make sure you turn off the network connection in there.

    I googled your issue and here is what I found>> http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=how+do+I+run+a+16bit+game+in+a+32bit+operating+system%3F&aq=f&oq=&aqi=

    I can't post any of the sites because many of the links lead to other forums.

    Here is another link that will help you understand>>     http://md4pc.com/questions/83.htm
