You could try something like Q (http://www.kju-app.org/kju/) if it's just a dos game. You'll need a Windows install disk though. Sorry I can't be more help I've never really been in a situation where I needed to use Windows since I switched.

You could try DOSBox. It's made specifically for DOS games. Cocoon is supposed to be an easy-to-use wrapper for DOSBox.

DOSBox seems to have better compatibility than I get with any other emulator (VPC, Q, etc.), but it's also slower. On my 1.25GHz G4, it's not fast enough for any but the simplest games.
