I agree with you: there are some odd titles that are DOSBox based but not listed nor downloadable as Linux games. Some may have very unreasonably stiff licence terms that can be overinterpretated to prohibit work by GOG to ensure compatibility (I actually don't think so: they don't have to tamper with the exe files, just add a script, so the original work is basically untouched). But the others can easily be made into comfortable linux installers!
There's another method besides repositories. Even non-free games, especially dated, DOS based ones, can be installed in WINE, then the installed directories can be copied outside WINE in your Linux host system and then tinkered with a bit to work with Linux's own DOSBox .
...But,again, it's a lengthy, mildly irritating affair when compared to a neat .sh colorful and intuitive package..
Edit: Scummvm? Now I notice that it's a similar case (but Scummvm is not a DOS program like I thought). It's easier, actually, and the limit can be circumvented by running the installer via WINE, then installing Scummv (from repos or from its site) and using it on the data file (without its win executable). This should be named "QUEEN"
