Old Games

Hi,
 
This as a question nor really on the subject of lprogramming but more holw to get old games to work. To any of you have any tips/ideas for running old DOS games. Specifcally the game I am trying to run is The 7th Guest, which I have had for years but have never been able to get to work. Do any of you know how to make a decent DOS boot disk which enables the CD drivers to work and have a decent amount of base memory (640k) left. Also can there be problem trying to play old games on a relativly new machine??
 
Thanks,
Rob.
 
P.S. Having just looked in the troubleshooting guide it says I need 512k base memory in conjunction with EMM386 or some such memory manager and CD + mouse must work..
