This is probably because your CPU is too fast (you heard me) for the game and it makes your computer freeze.
Try using DOSBox. |

Just drag&drop game executabel over dosbox and it should work fine.
@yamcha try pressing ctrl+F12 or ctrl+F8 to get the game running faster. BTW it does slow all the things, and that's exactly what we want! |

If you have Win98 Se then you should be able to run 90% of the old games easily anyways. |
