Man, I hate to break it to you, but the Windows version from 25 years ago is... Windows 98.

I know, I know. I'm so sorry. I felt like that when I noticed, too.

What did I ever do to you for you to hurt me in this way?

Win98 software also do not work reliably on modern Windows. Microsoft abandoned that kind of compatibility a while ago for a mix of both good and bad reasons.

You will have better odds of running it on ReactOS or Linux.
