Extraction of the data from the Floppy discs.
Simulation of the DOS environment either through virtualization or emulation.
Accessing, installing and playing the game on the DOS environment.

Modern USB floppy disk drives may not be able any more to properly detect 720kByte disks as they seem to outdated to be considered by the manufacturers. Nevertheless traditional PC floppy drives work well.
