When I was going through some old cds I found The Oregon Trail Classic Edition!
So I throw it in my PC to install it but it tells me I need a 32 bit system to install the game.
Is there a way to get around this, maybe use some kind of 32 bit emulator?

thats the downside of 64bit its only backwards compatable for some programs and a handful of drivers. if it wont let you install it, its proly no way around it.

I read up a little about Dosbox but I wasn't sure if my game version would work.
Thanks for the info, I'll try it out later.
