DOSBox is an emulator for MS-DOS, emulating a IBM PC running MS-DOS.

Oh and it's free by the way, it was released under GPL.

In other words, you'll need Dosbox to play old PC games that were never meant to be played in Windows

Go here. There's a compatibility list, so make sure your game is compatible. It should be, though.
