eGame (http://aminet.net/package/util/misc/eGame) allows you to keep an easily searchable list of games for playing - rather than having to hunt through lots of folders using Workbench/Wanderer/Ambient. Please note that eGame is only able to start games that you can already run by double-clicking them.
"eGame" is short for "(Portabl)E Game Launcher". I originally wrote eGame as a test & an example of what can be achieved with PortablE's easy GUI system, but (after some prodding from Joel) I think it has become a nice useful program in it's own right.
As I've put a lot of effort into making tagging & filtering easy but still pretty powerful, I decided to make it 'DonationShareware'. Without a key file it will only display 10 games (although you can still search all stored games & the first 10 matches will be shown). If you want to get a key file to unlock it, then you need to send me at least 2 Pounds or Euros by PayPal (although I encourage you to donate more if you feel it is worth more!).
eGame has been tested on AmigaOS4 & AROS, but I have not been able to test it on MorphOS (although I expect it to work). If you have any problems then please let me know!
You can download eGame from Aminet (http://aminet.net/package/util/misc/eGame) & OS4Depot (http://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=utility/misc/egame.lha).
Here are some OS4 & AROS screenshots:
