You can probably get it to work in Wine with some effort, and definitely should be able to get it to work in a virtual machine.
I’ve gotten some old games working in a Windows XP vm in VirtualBox, using disk images I made from the old disks.
The GOG release might be easier to get working (GOG themselves are updating it to work on modern OSes, and it’s DRM free so you don’t have to worry about the keys or anything).

Before I rush to buy this before it disappears, two questions:
Do they sell a Mac version that will work on current OSes?
I still have my discs in a box. Would my CD keys be valid?
I’m off to find these answers on my own. Will report back.
Edit: looks like no and no.
Guess I might try to see if I can get those old discs to run on my Linux setup.
