I think the OP means:

"Does anyone know how to set a time limit for games in Mamewah?"

...and as far as I know,  I don't think that functionality is built in.

My guess you could do something with Windows to limit the dosbox.  Some sort of batch file that counts down and executes a termination of session in another window.  Like a macro does in Excel.

Nice idea to experiment.  Asteroids in 20 minutes.  But for me it would be Asteroids in 2 hours.

Even tho i am unsure how well vista will run any of your programs,  ms vista has an option to limit users to accessing the system during certain time frames.   it really depends on what you are looking for.
