I was testing DOS 6.2.2 and Windows 3.1 inside VirtualBox. I wanted to check if I could play some classic titles. I located the ISO files at the provided link. It seems you’d just load the ISO into a disk, but how would you launch the games from there? Also, do any of your favorites stand out as enjoyable options?

Yes, it refers to old games that are no longer supported or available, similar to playing SNES titles.

A huge collection of outdated titles exists on InternetArchive (https://archive.org/details/softwarelibrary_msdos_games). These are played using DOSBox. A few are original copies made for C64 and Atari, but that's about it...

It’s definitely one of those games that stands out from the rest. While not as old, I find STALKER Lost Alpha to be an absolute blast. The visuals are nice, and the game world feels more authentic compared to the original. Of course, it’s not realistic in a traditional sense, but the design and mood are really impressive.

I hadn't thought about games that remained on Steam, which makes things much simpler for me!
