Windows 10: Trying to play a 1996 game

I'm trying to play a game from 1996 that I have on disk. I tried to make it work from accessibilities > compatibility, but it didn't work. What's the best way to play this game?

  Are you playing the game online or offline?
  

I suggest you to try installing the game in compatibility mode and check:

Follow these steps to install the game in compatibility mode.

• 
  Download the game from the manufacturer’s website.
  
• 
  Right-click on the game setup file and click on
  ‘properties’.
  
• 
  Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box
  ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows 10 from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.
