I hope I am not posting something that is already been posted.
Here is a very simple way to make most if not all old games that use DirectDraw renderer to work on newer operating systems, just extract this archive in the directory of game with the game executable and voila, problems like screen not updating, slow downs or game simply refusing to start will go away. These files are actually ddraw implementation of Wine, that is used to run windows software on linux. Hope this helps.
