I've already managed to install Win98 (which I need to run the game) but now I'm stuck. And the net doesn't have clear descriptions on this. Please tell me what's my next step, if possible in some detail.

Thanks.
 
Install the game in the w98 vpc and hope it doesnt need any unsupported features.
For running a game, i recommend you the compatibility mode of the original os (available since xp) or virtual box.

How do I do that? Please give some details, it's the first time I'm using Virtual PC.
 
put the install-cd in the drive of the host-system, start vpc and then w98, the cd/dvd drive should be mapped to the guest system, look for the setup file on it and start it by dblclick.

for gaming, get virtual box, it has a better grafic subsystem
