I know the answer is yes, but I don't know who or how. Probably with a PC emulator. I know someone used a linux machine too, but probably the same way.

Here's a free one if you feel like experimenting: https://techsviewer.com/run-windows-10-in-macos-catalina-with-a-free-emulator. I've done it on Macs, but not in twenty years, so I have no idea what I used. It was really slow in those days and buggy, so I assume this is world's apart. I run linux occasionally on my PC. You'd never know. Pretty sure this will be the same, or one like it.

Hope that helps.

Maybe with a minor glitch or two, I have had very good success running John Tiller games on Linux PCs with Wine. As recently as a year ago, the latest Campaign Series code under development was seen to run fine using Wine on a Linux PC.

I couldn't say how well it all runs on a Mac, though.
