'Copyright' is the acknowledgement that the software's creators get to decide how their intellectual property (the game) is used.

That means that it's a breach of copyright to distribute the software yourself, or to try to disassemble it into components, and such. 'Buying' a game does not mean you own the code, you are simply licensed to use it as intended.

They have now pirated a copy as they have not paid the software developer for the use of the game.

If you mean OS simulator software, or more accurately, emulation software, then you would have to pursue buying VMWare or similar software to emulate older environments in order to play video games. Be careful if you wish to do this, though.
