(Edited for lack of Olde English mutilation.)
With DOSBox it certainly can run on XP.

If you can tell us what the relevant similarities between Underworld and Terra Nova are, we might have a hope of answering that question :)
Aside from the vaguely similar mouse usage and key-bindings, I'm really struggling to think of any game features that the two really have in common.
In the meantime, I'm going to throw Gremlin's rather superb "Realms of the Haunting" out there, as there are some definite similarities to Looking Glass' games, and the unofficial site has a (

As Shadowcat says, if you say what you're looking for in a game then we may have a chance of helping you out. So far, it sounds like you're saying "I want a game like pacman. Not like space invaders but galaxians would be ok." As it is, it's unclear what you're wanting and I'm sure most of us here are quite happy to give you our opinions... as long as we know what you're looking for.

First of all I've picked up my original copy of thief and thief 2. Sure it took me a little longer to get it but eventually I"ve got the games and yes even I couldn't get passed the level where you have to swich God's EYE for your own cos I'was scared shiteles.
Similarity between Terra Nova and Underworld is that the one has a 'cooler' catchier name (IMHO) and the other doesn't.
Since the time that UW & TN came out there have been a LOT of new (better, & alass more expensive?) games. The thing I liked about those games were the trade featurs, but as I've said since 1992 there have been better games (take for example from System SHock 2 to Bioshock) so I won't go on complaining about how 'before' everything would supposedly have been better .
In any case I hope you enjoyed my writings (typings in this case lol) nad perhaps see you later on some other ttlg forum ?
Game on !

The Horror: Realms Of The Haunting
exactly what I"ve had in mind.
Retro is cool.

In that case, I vote for Woodruff and the Schnibble of Azimuth.
