Sorry, that was an honest question. I wasn't trying to be snarky. I did open the link but I wasn't sure why the poster didn't use an original news source. I thought perhaps there was a reason. My apologies if it was a dumb question.
I actually did this just a few weeks ago. I was hunting for a shareware card game from 25 years ago. The installer was buried in a shareware DVD image; I could tear out the installer but of course couldn't run it.
W98+DosBox-X did the job. With a sufficiently powerful machine, the phony system was at least as speedy as machines of the era. And there are enough tweaks to speed up the boring parts. That one worked so well, I tried some demos from that time frame, and most did fine.
