Yes, you should create a separate partition and install Win95 or 98 or even DOS on it. If your computer is fast enough, you can install VMWare or some other virtual machine under your XP and install the other OS under it.

"DOS Box" is the best program I know of for playing DOS games on XP, check it out, works very well.
