Hi Lisa, Fortunately, most games except for some very old 8-bit and 16-bit Dos games will run fine under Windows 7 provided all the dependencies are met. A case in point is the Kitchens Inc games. Since they were all written in VB 6 which is no longer officially supported by Windows 7 and above you need to install Jim's Winkit file found on his site which adds the necessary files and components you need for his games.
As for if there is a Dos box I am assuming you are talking about the Windows Command Prompt. Yes, Windows 7 still has it, but it will only work with 32-bit and 64-bit Dos applications. It will not work with anything 8-bit or 16-bit do to changes in the Windows architecture and the new 64-bit processors. That said, there is an alternative. There is a talking Dosbox floating around that you can install that still plays old Dos games, but it leaves a lot to be desired. Still, barring anything else it really is the only thing available currently for very old Dos games on modern Windows.
