Minimise CD-ROM swapping
The original game comes on two CD-ROM's. Disk swapping can be avoided if you have multiple CD-ROM drives available by putting the games CD-ROM's in different drives, assuming that each drive will get a separate drive letter.
Use DOSBox

Notes
With DOSBox you can IMGMOUNT each CD-ROM image onto a different virtual CD-ROM drive by adding lines similar to these to your dosbox config:
[autoexec]
MOUNT C "7THGUEST"
IMGMOUNT D "7THGUEST/CD/7th_Guest_CD1.iso" -t iso
IMGMOUNT E "7THGUEST/CD/7th_Guest_CD2.iso" -t iso
C:
CD \T7G
call T7G.BAT
