Hi Dark, I understand where you are coming from, and am just as annoyed at being stuck with having to use something like dosbox to play games that would or should be otherwise accessible if someone just wrote a proper interpreter for it. However, as a programmer I see where their coming from as well. Accessibility issues currently do not effect them and if they can get it running on Dosbox that saves them the time, energy, and expense of writing an interpreter from scratch. Its the usual problem we have with any game developer. Its not their problem so they aren't going to go out of their way to fix it.
