Universal Videogame List - www.uvlist.net

Supports only 4:3 displays (many of the used pixel resolutions wildly differ from this), so any screenshot produced for it should be adjusted to that for display purposes.

DOSBox or similar DOS emulator is needed to run DOS games and applications on modern systems (there are no DOS drivers for modern hardware devices).

Virtualization also provides alternative route to this. For that, the comparison of virtual machines at Wikipedia may prove helpful.

Since all versions of pure DOS (not including the DOS versions bundled with Windows operating systems) are fully(?) backwards compatible, there's no reason to identify the versions any more specifically than blindly assume all games run on DOS 5.0 - the last real DOS (6.x added disk compression and after that the features were being stripped).

IBM PC-DOS 2000 (Not by Microsoft) was the last official DOS. It included the features of all previous version plus a few more and Y2K compliance. It did not include any of the problematic features (or lack thereof) of MS-DOS 7.x or 8.0. No games are known to have been written specifically for 2000.
