Windows 10: Old games I'd like to play again.

I have some old games Wizardry Archives, Red Alert, Dune, Old Warcraft, Caesar 2 that I would like to install and play again. The problem is I can not get my 64-bit Windows 10 OS to run the 32-bit games. I've looked for a fix, short cut, just something on the net and nothing works. I've tried the compatibility mode and still does not load. Can anyone help me?Thanks.

Playing Old Dos Games


I have an Old Dos Game that I was able to find in bin format and was trying to figure out how to play it on Windows 10. I was trying to figure out DosBox but maybe it's just me but it's too complicated.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks
