In order to play a number of the old(er) games, DOSBox provides you with an emulated old-school DOS environment. It will also simulate hardware needed, so you can run all the old-time goodness on your modern PC.
Simply download and unpack to any folder. I find it easiest to then store your old games in an easily accessible folder like C:\Games. Once you start DOSBox, you then mount a new drive to access it. A typical command would be:
MOUNT G: C:\Games\MyGame
This allows you to access the C:\Games\MyGame folder by simply typing G:. From there, you can then launch the executable that actually launches the game itself.
That's it! You're now all set to run your favorite abandonware game
