DOS. Just Superb.

To be honest I sort of missed out on DOS gaming during the 1990s, as those were bad years.
A pity. In recent years I rediscovered DOS and realized what I had missed. "Inherit the Earth," "Darkseed," "Terminal Velocity" (still one of the best first-person shooters to date), earlier ones like "Wizardry," the list is long.
Less than two years ago I stumbled across text game engines; first "TextWorld" (White Divine's) and later "AGT" which is by far my favorite. I was able to modify it in a number of ways so now it can do things not possible for it before.
I'm wondering...how well would games like "Luxis" and "Undertale" come out in DOS? "Gardenscapes" (hidden-object one)? Games like "Foxtail" and "Beyond the Edge of Owlswood" would come out well, for obvious reasons, but what about others?
