Not really sure how feasible or good this idea is, but it popped into my head a few minutes ago when I launched DOSBox and saw a lot of shortname folders in my game directory, so I figured I should mention it.

Based on your pictures, that'd be triple: TFTD, Terror from the Deep, TFTD - Terror from the Deep.

Heh, true 😀

"TFTD - Terror from the Deep" would be the real name, and then DOSBox split it up to "TFTD" and "Terror from the Deep". The "Terror from the Deep" name is never really used in DOSBox except for in the DIR command.
