So, by accident, I download and try the other 90 games, you didn't try and tell you "All work fine".
Is it really that hard for you to give the names of 2-3 games you tried?

"pure DOS" still might be not "pure DOS", because there could be different CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT settings.

All with the same DOS system? Same version, same CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files?
