Most DOS games work under OS/2.  Some do odd things, which work under plain
DOS, but not OS/2 (though I've seen games which don't work under DOS, but
do under OS/2's DOS).

If they're crashing, the most likely remedy is to increase the memory
available to the session.  There's no simple way to figure out which type
of memory the game uses (unless it's in the documentation), so increase
DPMI, EMS, and XMS.  Also, on the chance that the game is a DPMI client,
change the DOS_DPMI_API value to ENABLED.
