MORE INFORMATION
You cannot start the individual executable files because they are only
data files. Revenge of Arcade uses a program called Boot.exe to load each
individual game file.
When Revenge of Arcade is installed, individual icons are created for
each game. These icons start the Boot.exe program and pass a command line
parameter that loads the individual game's data file.
