I'm thinking to buy an Android tablet later this year. Since there already seem to be working Dosbox-clones out there for Android:
Does WinSpmbt now really need Windows or would it be theoretically possible also to provide a Dos version with the same game mechanics like the Window version?
I guess not...but it would be just so cool to play WinSpmbt on a tablet. Perhaps in the future Wine gets ported to Android, then this might be a solution.

The hint is in the "Win"(dows) before the "SPMBT". The DOS version is long dead and gone.
You would need to wait for Wine for the thing.

There's another solution, although it requires that your pc is running: Using of a remote desktop connection client on the android device. They also seem to support sound.

Also you could hit E-Bay.
There's probably an old DOS version out there somewhere.
Of course it'd have zero support these days.

Try Googling for the Dos Version, maybe some game site will have it, maybe not. There's no support for it. as Suhir said, we've all moved on.

If you mean the old SSI box game, I have it.

no, I surely do not wanna miss all the great stuff, which was added to WinSPMBT...I will try out RemoteDesktopConnection when I have a tablet PC.
