Throwing this out there, for folks that might be interested, and perhaps in the discussion I'll learn something.

I prefer playing my games straight from DOSBox, as I have an older slower low end Mac, and the wait time for GoG Galaxy to launch can be maddening on occasion. To facilitate that, I have the games that I am playing on a scripted menu, and the menu format is what I would to share and get feedback on.

Specifically, I would like to know if there is a method for formatting how the game list is displayed rather than the menu choices just following one after the other, and wrapping around the screen in a sloppy fashion.

Instead of this line, how about an echo of each game name, followed by a choice command that doesn't include the names?

Eg.

echo 1 Pool of Radiance
echo 2 Curse

choice /c:12

if errorlevel == 2 goto curse
if errorlevel == 1 goto pool

:curse
rem play curse of the azure bonds
goto end

:pool
rem play pool of radiance
goto end

:end
rem finished

Excellent! Thank you!

You're welcome. Glad I could help.
