this is for those of you who hoard games and have a ton of them installed - whether on a true DOS machine, or for use with DOSBox. Not talking about frontends though (since they offer organization methods that have nothing to do with your filesystem).
since forever, I've simply been keeping a "GAMES" directory, with each game in its own subdir. On my Windows machines it's now "DOSGAMES", but the idea is the same.
of course, as your collection grows larger, having a huge single-level list of directories gets unwieldy, and those 8-character names can get ambiguous... or just tough to keep track of.
what's your chosen method? do you live with the mess, or do you have some sort of structure -
- in alphabetized sub-directories?
- by genre?
- by developer?
- by "era"?
- 4DOS with descriptions?
- some other way?
Share your wisdom - could be fun to see what you guys have come up with.
