Interesting.

Archimedian Dynasty nearly worked at some point. I think the main problem was with the mouse emulation and it's been rewritten since I last tried AD.

Ply works, but is too slow to be playable. Not syre where the bottleneck is.

Screamer Rally works. It worked well last time I tried it. Perfectly playable.

Yes, these are all confirmed DOS Games that use the OVL (in other words, "dynamic linked") that are currently not listed with screenshots/description on your Glidos.net website. 😀

In case you didn't noticed:
Pył English language pack
Pył, Pyl, Dust English language version
This game is very cpu demanding so would be nice if it worked without dosbox.

There are many problems with Pyl in Glidos so the slow down may also be a result of one of them:
- non-wall objects and creatures/enemies are not visible. You have to be one meter close to them to see them at all.
- lights and light effects are missing
- smoke is black istead of white
So I wouldn't bother with speed till game works properly in Glidos.
