I recently installed and began playing The Dame Was Loaded. Some info about the game can be found here:

It didn't get uniformly favorable reviews (but then again, very few games do), but I am finding it quite entertaining. It runs in DOSBox after performing a strange little maneuver, the details of which can be found here:

It was worth the bother. The game designers, I believe, were all in Melbourne, Australia, but the game takes place in the United States.
