These games are not resource consuming you may consider to install W$ on a virtual machine -
you may use for this eg. Virtual Box.

Virtual Box is a programm which allows you to create vitual machines and install on them
other operational systems. And the Virtual Box is very easy to use. Yes it is possible to add additional programs to you W$ system installed on a virtual machine. There are several possible
solutions. But first things thirst - let install virtually W$.

Yes. Installation on a virtual machine is exactly the same as in the case of a real computer.
Virtual Box will find your XP CD and launch it.
