>still runs on today's PCs

I guess it ran on 1999 PCs but not 2022 PCs. It won't run for me on Windows 10.



Tried it on my kid's gaming PC just now. Windows 10 complains about it not being 64 bit.

Runs fine in DOSBox. Left it open, he'll be so excited when he gets home from school!


Runs on "today's" PC with a 32 bit Windows


Should run on a floppy with FreeDOS :-P

(AFAIK FreeDOS has better support for modern PCs than MS-DOS though you might find some that also boot MS-DOS)


64 bit Windows won't run 16 bit executables.


here you are : 16-bit Windows (Windows 1.x, 2.x, 3.0, 3.1, etc.) on 64-bit Windows

a 16-bit Windows emulator

I imagine it would run OK in DOSBox.
