Most likely you are running a 64bit os and for some reason old games dont install/run in that enviroment.

Some steps you could take
1 Try to install in compatability mode for xp sp3
2 Create a virtual xp environment with Virtualbox
3 find an old pc that can play the games

Or
4 Play frisbee with said discs

Best of luck
