Old Game Compatibility

Now, I know it might seem odd, but let's say I wanted to play a rather old game of mine. (Said game in question is actually extremely old. 1993.) This game wants me to switch to 8 bit color, but the lowest Vista will let me go is 16. It also states there is a video error: FE99.

Could someone tell me if it is actually possible to play this relic? Because, although I will be rather disappointed if I can't, I would like to know that before I start getting majorly ticked off.

Re: Old Game Compatibility

Can't really help but what OS did it run on before and have you tried to run it in compatibility mode ?

Re: Old Game Compatibility

It ran on Windows 98 before, I think. It might have been okay with XP, but it's been so long I can't really recall. And I haven't had it run in compatibility mode because I can't seem to remember how to do that.
