Windows 95 game.

Yesterday I bought RollerCoaster Tycoon which is for Windows 95/98 but when I tried playing it on Vista I get a message saying "Incorrect version of Windows. Sorry, not supported on Windows NT."
So I've tried changing the compatibility mode but when I open it, it comes up with "rct.exe has stopped workin. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly..."
So now I'm out of ideas on how to play the game, so would anyone be able to help me?

Thanks.

I was able to get 'magic the gathering' abandonware circa 1997 to work by using the 'compatibility mode' from the program's .exe properties, and disabling the pesky UAC.
