"Computer programs and video games distributed in formats that have become obsolete" - again, JJ1 is distributed in a format perfectly readable by today's software and hardware. The runtime error is a problem caused by the compiler used to create JJ1, not an incompatibility problem between Windows and JJ1's executable format. Windows can run JJ1 perfectly, patched or not. You'll notice that it is a program error, not a Windows error, that you get when attempting to run JJ1.
The hardware (a computer) and software (a Microsoft Windows or DOS product and TPPatch) are reasonably available.

Our oldest and most trusted catalyst.
It is a substance we cannot cremate
By temperatures known to our Laboratory.
