Windows 3.1 Games Gamebase possible?

Has anyone attempted this yet?

Maybe with DOSBox as it proven to run Windows 3.1 on a mounted folder.

So obviously theres going to be some very advanced scripts involved, so the selected game will run by just a mouse click from GB.

Underfly,

I've toyed with the idea, but I'm really busy with my DOS gamebase right now. I have a 2 or 3 game Win3.1 gamebase that I started (just to see if it was feasible), but it's by no means anything worth uploading as it was completely experimental. I would guess that a Win3.x gamebase would be pretty large as well, and the first place to start would be to compile a list of Win 3.x only games.

There are lots of lists available for DOS, but I haven't really done any searching for a Win3.x games list. Maybe someone could list a link to one.

I haven't found a decent site focusing on win3.x games, so far probably the best i've found is

http://www.download-central.ws/Win16/Games/

I remember those budget CDs I once own with over 200 Win Games, I guess the first thing would be getting all those classic freewares and those sharewares together by googling.
