i need help here because i'm planing to run old games on my windows 8 64 bit but it looks i can't even install i started with (prince of percia warrior within) but in the middle of installation o get the message (unsupported 16-bit application) so i think this will happen to the rest of the games i want to play too so how i'm i going to fix this,the only solution i found is dos cmd or something like that but i didn't know how to use it and i have to do lots of steps if that the only way i think i will pass so help please.
I was reading about turning on 16bit application supprt for Win 8 32Bit OS. But it would seem it was only available in the developers version. Have a look around for 16BIT emulators for Win 8. Ill spend a short time searching.

A virtual machine is the only way. 64 bit versions of Windows have never supported 16 bit applications. Also note that some older 32 bit applications have 16 bit installers.
