I don't believe you can run protected-mode games in dosemu. You can
run games that use DPMI, though, because dosemu provides DPMI. I don't
believe you can use other DOS-extenders that actually need to switch to
protected mode.

It's been years since I had to use MS-DOS -- on a 286 -- so I don't
know if I remember correctly, but I thought
a) himem lets you use some of the $A0000..$FFFFF memory, which is
available in real mode, but normally reserved for peripherals;
b) you couldn't run emm386.
I'm sure that if I am wrong, someone will tell me.
