You download VPC2007 for 64 bit Windows, install it, and then you also need W98SE or XP to install in virtual PC.
Once that done you can run most of them old games in it without problems.
A few that needs full 3D support won't run in it as VPC doesn't support real 3D, but luckily most games from that era can run in what's usually called 'software mode' or similar.

A fast testrun on Vista 64/XPC2007/W98SE with GPM2 shows that it runs flawless.




I just was to lazy to set W98SE desktop res to 640x480, but VPC can also run full screen if wanted.

You may ignore that warning, I'm on ultimate, but have already installed it on home 64 bits, it works.
It's just that MS likes to sell the costly high end versions.
