As someone with 40-odd supported games, I was just about to suggest this. :)

Thinking longer-term, the ideal might be to have the desktop UI offer a 
"insert my original CD for a game, start playing it" path. For example 
the user puts in their King's Quest compilation disc, hits "Add CD", and 
all the necessary game data for each game on it is copied to sensible 
default folders, which then get added to the game list. As it is picking 
out the relevant files manually using the wiki listing is a bit of a 
fiddle (and games which need some kind of manipulation with the user 
tools are a lot of one!).
