@todah1 Hi,

Generally speaking, you can play DOS games on Windows 7 by using a DOS emulator, such as DOSBox: http://www.dosbox.com/

Good write-ups on how to do so are available here:

• http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Basic_Setup_and_Installation_of_DosBox

If you are curious about a specific game, as suggested by Gorath, just let us know!

Cheers,

Nils

Answer HQ is a player to player message forum website, however, we are funded by EA.  It is EA's games we are discussing. 

You never identified which EA game you wanted to know about.
