Have you tried using otvdm (github.com/otya128/winevdm) to run those games in Windows 10/11? I gave it a quick shot & it seems to install and run well enough to show the start menu, though on my ultrawide monitor everything is tiny!

Might work well with some more config (i've not looked into this to be honest), or if you reduce your screen resolution.
