Where is the best way to purchase legitimately an older version of flight simulator (4.0 or less)?

Welcome to the murky waters of abandonware, where you can’t buy the product from a vendor anymore and downloading it for free is still considered illegal due to copyright.

But obtaining the product is only half your problem, since running pre-'95 titles on today’s operating systems is pretty much impossible without some sort of patch/emulator.

I wish you luck. If there is a demand for it, maybe Microsoft will go a bit further than just a flimsy in-game emulator within MFS.
