Trying to run a windows 95 game

Hi!

I've been trying to get this game running I used to play, Atlantis The Lost Chapters, but I can't manage to get it to work. Whenever I start the game it actually start, but this strange screen appears in which the screen is multiplied and split into pieces. I made a screenshot to make it more clear:

Note that this actually is the game, since the sound appears and this is also in fact the screen you will see when it's running normally, but split into pieces. I have tried several methods to get it to work, including changing the compatibilitymode to any windows version, changing the setting and even tried to run in DOSBox, which only resulted in the message "This is a windows NT windowed executable." I understand why it isn't working but I'd love to know how to make it work.

thanks in advance,

You could try making a Windows 95 virtual machine and installing the game into there.
