I can't see why it would not work. All you have to do if
it does not work is run it in Win95 or 98 compatibility
mode. To do this just right-click on the .exe file for
the game and select properties. Then you can check they
option on a tab there to run it in compatiblility mode. I
have been able to get many old 95/98 games running under
XP by doing this. If I were you, I would get FS2002, its
excellent and 100% better.

NO compatibility mode needed actually, works fine under WinXP. Do
compatibility mode just in case though.
