Dosbox is an emulator for running dos games on pretty much any platform. I believe it is free and is one of the goto programs for running dos games these days (outside of an old Win 3.11 box 8) )

EDIT: Looks like Starfighter is only in the 'runnable' state (as of 2007), but it still might be worth a try to get it going.

I did some looking into dosbox and found where it only claims it's "runnable"...but it's the 3do version. I have the PC/DOS version.

VMWare looks like it might work, but also looks like a large undertaking to setup. I'll try that as a last resort.
