Getting this Free Dos Game to run on windows 7?

So my advisor said she used a game called Digger to run an old study looking at how kids taught each other to play computer games vs how they worked with adults. They wanted to show that sometimes kids taught adults things, and that it wasn't always adults teach kids. (at the time there was a huge generation gap, where generally kids knew how to use computer games better than adults.)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digger_%28video_game%29
I found this page that lists it as a free dos game
ttp://www.dosgames.com/g_cla.php
, but it can't run on windows 7
Any ideas how I can get it to run?

You can try using
Dosbox
. The last time I used it I was enjoying some co-op action in Duke Nukem 3D!

There is also a Windows version that doesn't need dosbox:

That is the greatest song!
Thanks for the pointer. I never had a clue what that was called, but I always loved it.
