Hi Blair, Markku, there is a simple solution for your problem: Add the games to the DOS GAMES distro on bootablecd.de :-) That distro contains both open and closed source games. The "normal" FreeDOS distro focuses more on non-game categories anyway. By the way, yesterday we found out that the SEAL desktop works in DOSEMU only at 8- and (if you have 24- or 32-bit colors in X) 32-bit colors but not usually at the default 16-bit... Two things to be learned from this: 1. It works while it does not work at first glance and 2. why is there no SEAL in our distro? Its 2 MB.
