So then I think "okay, just put the installers on the discs and not the games themselves." But then I realize that doing that would leave so much blank space on the disc that it would be a waste to only put one game installer on there. But then that means I can't use one of those fancy covers with the nice art to put on my case.
I can't find a perfect option, so my OCD causes me to just not do it at all.
I backed up all my DOS games to a few CDRs and continually reap the benefits of rediscovering the old DOS games thru DOS Box. Really easy considering many of the original games were on floppy. I have a USB floppy, but the CDR so much faster to dump back into a newer computer. DOS games are fully installed in their own directory without hidden DLL files buried in Windows sub directories.
As for games that one can get the original Installers such as GOG, that is even better! This allows a full proper install and configuring all the settings during the install. Definitely burn any download game to CDR or DVDR just for a solid backup archive and also an easy TRANSPORTABLE install to any computer such as Desktop or Laptop.
Not really an issue of putting more then one game archive on one disc. A custom cover with the various front covers squared off could be done. Its not like the game will be of any value since it is a CDR or DVDR. However, the cover will give a clean look for easy identify, perhaps use slim CD Cases for space saving?
