Hi GreatNate,
In addition to what Chris has said, you might only be able to play these games (if you can) on the 32-bit version of Vista. This is because many old programs used a 16-bit installer routine, and such routines cannot be used on 64-bit systems, although they work perfectly OK on 32-bit ones.
The only way to know is to try. Some may work fine, some may work with errors and some may not work at all![]()
If at all it does not work - Install Virtual PC and install what ever Operating system you what that works as if you have to operating system - Working in the system
Here is some more information about the same ---

Check the Out the Demo.
Now your son can enjoy the same game in Vista also.
Thanks Jerin, I will test this out as I have been jonesing to try some old games with my new build but I have Vista Ultimate x64 and I thought against it because of the reason that dwarf posted.
I thought Microsoft virtual PC was not available for Vista?
It's not 'built in' like it is to Seven Ultimate for example. But as long as your hardware supports VM's - it can be run.
VM ware or Virtual box is another option, although 95/98 support is limited, particularly in VirtualBox.
