    Yeah its called a virtual machine, I use them all the time at work. Popular clients are VMware and VNC.

    If you've got a machine powerful enough to run Win7 then running a virtual machine with say 98 on it will be no problem

    Theyre called processor architectures mate, the x64 is the newer more advanced technology that Windows 7 is able to make use of, just FYI

    http://www.dosbox.com/ rread that the game runs in win 95 dos

    dos box is a really excellent program and can do a lot of things if you read the instructions through.

    It also is a lot faster than any win 95 computer.

    Ive had a go at dosbox all afternoon, seems really to complex for me.

    Currently I have Virtual Machine but struggling to boot 95, cannot read boot medium.
