If you try DosBox, you'll find out that using it doesn't detract from your gameplay experience. You will be able to play the game normally - just like if it was running on an oldschool DOS PC, command line and everything. You don't have to use any of the advanced features of DosBox (grahpic scalers, improved sampling rates etc) if you don't want them.

It's a DOS game. Trying to run it in Windows isn't a good idea, and same goes for running it on modern machines (because of lack of hardware compatibility).

Is thier any other way to play this utter classic ?[/b]
If you really are that desperate to go the hard way... get the phone numbers for the game publisher's tech support line and Microsoft's tech support. Keep bothering both until the people there figure out what to do.
Of course, this can take a while...
