The source code has not been released, so I think the only thing you could do is create an emulation virtual machine - based on a Win98 Pentium III 900 with a Voodoo 5 5500 video card. I don't see that happening.

There is a vote mechanism on GOG.com - a lot of people have requested that they produce a Win 10 compatible version.

I was able to get it running and posted instructions at http://SimHQ.com/forum/ubbthreads.p...ongbow-2-windows-xp-vista-7-8-8-1-fix-v3
Also, I kept one old XP box running just to play LB2 on occasionally.

It did take quite a bit of effort, and may not work for you. But this game still grabs me, so it was worth it.
