So, a better option is to set up "C:\Windows\Exit to DOS.pif" to go
through an EMS/NoEMS/NoHiMem/etc Config.sys menu into DOS Shell or
other DOS front-end, from which you can have a merry multi-game
session.  I like DOS Shell as I can edit in help for playing keys etc.
for each menu entry, and it looks nice in 35-line graphic mode and
custom colors, but you may prefer DOSKey and Pathed .bat launchers
