Actually, I know that is impossible to drag, drop and play a DOS game like a console emulator. I just think it's cool to drag, drop, write "<nameOfExecutable>" ("cd <dir>" maybe ?) and play. That's one of the reasons I tell the "create a zip temp dir" idea. It could work like a "unzip;run dosbox mounted on the dir;zipit again" BAT file, but having it natively is better, specially for "read-only" games.
BTW, I think old games are more cool than todays' games. Games like TRON 2.0, Quake 3 and others are fun, but they are unplayable in two or three years (I can't play DN3D anymore 😒 ). Games like sokoban and karateka (or even DN1 e DN2) I will play my whole life. And what about that 5/10 pixel tall pictures that you treat like persons or space fleets ? 😀
PS: I can only thanks sokoban and karateka creators. Their games bring me to the world of computers in 1991/1992. Using an 8MHz computer with 712kb memory and 32Mb HD was very cool. Playing 4 color (4 tones of green) games, programming in BASIC and destroying my DOS directory using DEBUG are some of the happiest moments of my live... 😁 Jeez, I really miss the Norton Disk Editor... 😀
