Do you not still have the old PC to check ?
Your description means little to me but it is possible it may now have an updated version to run on later windows. I have old games that I'd like to fire up once more but since they were supposed to run in DOS I could no longer get them to run after I left, XP I think.
Best of luck finding someone who recognises it, but your best bet might be just to scour the Net looking for other suitable games. It's surprising how a new interest help you no longer long for the old favourite.
