I'm not confident.
Some will, but not all. Your biggest problem with the "really" old classics, e.g., FPFP, is that many of them shipped on 3.5 disks, and many PCs, including mine don't have a 3.5 drive. There have been reporte problems with some games that were subsequently made available on CD. Those problems mostly dealt with buyer verification. E.g., the first CD versions of FPFP didn't ship with a manual. Unfortunately, the only way to advance past the first screen or two required a manual.

Most of these "problems" have been solved with the availability of online walkthroughs.

How to get the vintage games onto your PC if you don't have the appropriate drive available might be your main problem.
