This is up to the game, how you can quit the game. You can not override it. But if this is a old dos game, you may try the DOSBOX emulator.

You should only use that with very old 285 -> 468 games and have a fast machine, but this is a great emulator. It a great emulator.

There us up to developer, how you quit these windows games. This is not allways ESC. There are no standard quit key (maybe the standard ALT-F4 work on some games, but not all).

Most emulator can quit with ESC, but not all.

As Space Fractal said, it is up to the game(s) in question, Alt+F4 will work for some.  I don't think you want DosBox in this case.

Yeppe. Dont use Dosbox, if you just use Windows games!

It was only ment very old dos games. I love the lastest version, because there is a keyboard remapper, so you can change key complety in a game, so it can suit that cab, even if the game dosen't have a keyboard remap function (e.g. pinball games).

I run a dozen or so PC games, and a lot of them you can exit either with ESC or by navigating their menu (arrow + ENTER or CTRL). Some of them do require a trackball.
