I have made nearly 500 appimages on Linux, fully running from the 1997 to 2005 era (roughly) These appimages incorporate the windows installation, the wine version that works for the game and the game itself (including the iso, which auto mounts, if needed) so should be bullet proof as regards …

so the only way is to burn it right? With Windows there are some virtual disc software that can mount BIN/CUE in its entirety, so you can access the image's data content as well as audio tracks (by software/game or media player).
