Hmm, as you already seem to have FreeDOS, how about
booting the CD, temporarily formatting your swap partition FAT16 and
installing and playing it from there?
Also, with todays machines, it should be possible to install it into
a DOS RAMdisk too. Not sure if FreeDOS supports that though, or how
to go about it, my DOS skillz are a bit rusty nowadays.
I believe you can get the game itself legally from some abandonware
sites.
FWIW, I know for sure that it plays nicely under Win98, just did that
two weeks ago ;) (and at that time completely unaware of the new
one.)
2cents, and they're mine
