How about running these old games in a virtual machine on an older OS like Win 95/98/XP? That worked for me with some really old games that have compatibility issues on modern systems.,(reply>), I tried to run one of the games mentioned in comments. Tested it with 98 and 2000 and found that it requires hardware video acceleration. I remember that VirtualBox had acceleration support for Windows XP. But when I tried to activate it, I found that Oracle broke it in recent versions and they don't even think fixing it. Downgrading VM for such test was too much inconvenience for me.
