You should have no need of DOSBox with Win98. Try to run the game in the MSDos mode.

If you can't play the game, you can refer to this quoted guide to setup your machine for DOS gaming.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. :)

Go to Start button, select restart and when prompted for it select reboot in MSDOS mode.

Yes, I can beleive that easily. :)

For this one you will need a CPU killer like MoSlo and use it along with your program. Of course, get one which works in DOS and not only in Windows or else it won't work at all.

While you were playing at the speed of light, did you at least manage to see if everything else, like the sound, is working right? If yes then you should be pretty close to be able to play that game freely. :)
