TL;DR: HOW THE FUCK DO I GET THIS TO RUN ON WINDOWS 7!?
It's Windows 3.1/95 compatible but I can't run it in compatibility mode because I can't get the damn thing to install in the first place.
Does anyone have any idea on how I can play this damn game?

Pls respond, I NEED to play this fucking game.

Have you tried a virtual machine?

What would you suggest? I had installed something (I think it was an Oracle program) I deleted it though because I couldn't figure out how to use it.

If it's a 16 bit installer, this might help: http://www.reactos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=10988

That's probably the issue actually.
Thanks for the link, I'll look into it.

>>3869635
Yeah, nevermind. That's waaaaay too fucking confusing for a layman like me.

Vmware Player. Virtualbox has high latency.

Install Microsoft's "Windows XP Mode" and run it in that. As long as you don't need 3D acceleration, you will be fine.
