Mouse only MS-DOS Games

Games that are played with the mouse alone — a few ask for a function key only to open the save menu. On a desktop that means no key card to learn; on a phone or tablet it means a tap stands in for a click and the on-screen keyboard can mostly stay closed, which makes these the MS-DOS games that work best on a touch screen.
