Are there still laptops on which you can play Emergency 1? I think it's a 1998 game.
Just buy a new, very weak laptop
I think the point is the OS version. You probably should need Windows XP or even Windows 98.
You can take a current Lpatop Installed for example: Linux Mint Mate on it, which is free and sets up wine with winetricks. That's how you can play many old games on it. I got Diablo I running for myself. And the game existed long before 1998.
