I don’t know where they get off skipping Commander Keen Episodes 2 & 3. Literally unplayable!

It's cool, but no phone support yet. Games themselves run on my phone fast enough.

Dosbox works just fine on Android. No idea about iPhone.

Works great on Linux-based handhelds, too.

So you can just the link to that page (in a browser) via "add a non Steam Game" to your steam deck?

Is there a way to turn the web page into something like a desktop app?

lol yes, actually! Thank you. (This steam deck is the first non-mac computer I've had since my Dad's old DOS computer, and I've been too busy with life to actually try and figure some of this stuff out. I assume it's all probably fundamental to you, but not to me yet.)

If it's a PWA yeah, there should be an install button in the hamburger menu of your browser

Does it also work with iPadOS 17? Because I tried Fallout 1/Diablo 1 once in the browser and it would not work :(
