A PC Booter game is different to a Boot Sector game.
A PC Booter is written to not require DOS. It handles all disk access itself. Typically for copy protection reasons, or to make for lower memory usage or better speed.
A boot sector game is one that's written in highly optimised assembly to fit into 512 bytes or less. This is the amount of space that the boot sector of a disk ocupies. They are primarily written as a challenge to see what's possible in such a small amount of space. They are extremely limited games. They are not really much fun to play, but they are remarkable demonstrations of software development skill.
It is explained very well here:
Oh, sorry, I misread the OP:s reqest.
I recall seeing a tetris variant in bootsector size, looked fun. It is referred in the earlier github link.

I get a "forbidden: 403 error" when trying to access your page. May you kindly post the binaries here in this thread?
