OMG, this brought back a lot of memories...
Menus in CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT (clean boot, HIMEM.SYS, HIMEM+EMM, etc)
Every program/game needed a different configuration (frequent restarts).
(SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 and other options...)

Anyone heard of "unreal mode" ? (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unreal_mode)
I wrote a game (or base of a game) in unreal mode and then in WATCOM C++/DOS4GW
back in maybe 1995.

Those were heroic times...
