I'm not sure, but it sounds like it was released around 1995? You could try it with compatibility mode, I have played games from that era when I still had my XP computer. Though it tends to me hit and miss what will work. I'm not sure what it specifically says about the Operating System needed, but you could also try googling that system + "on XP" or something like that, usually there are plenty of hits of people trying to use old software.
But always, at your own risk!
Sounds like though, you'd be better off looking for a copy of EQ7.
