So update, I was able to get the game running through DosBox on my Win 10 laptop and it works perfectly with zero issues. It still bums me out to not be able to play the damn game straight off the disc and not through an emulator but I will like have to buy a pre-XP desktop for that to happen. And Ive had bad luck with those optical drives. So honestly emulation is probably the only viable rpute at this point.
