If you want to add more games, consider The Yukon Trail. Thanks to the magic of bootleg CD-ROMs, it's the Trail game I had as a child in Europe. It is probably weaker than Oregon, but it's worth a playthrough. Collections generally ignore it in favor of the more famous sibling.

I liked the Flash version of Glider PRO made by Mark Arenz in 2006, which the developer put on GitHub a few years ago (without source): https://github.com/markarenz/rid-flash-archive. Worth a try to see how close it got as a 2000s Flash game. Wikipedia used to say this:
> In 2006, Mark Arenz teamed up with Calhoun to construct a version of Glider PRO built in Adobe Flash.[citation needed]
I wonder if it's true.
That's an interesting fork. If it runs SimCity 2000 already, you could set up a page that lets one try it (with user-supplied game files). You can do the same thing as my project: set the GitHub Pages source to GitHub Actions and create a workflow for Pages (https://github.com/dbohdan/glider/blob/b4d14cfd52873c0378995...).
I didn't know about Systemless. I know Classic Mac fans to share it with.
The orthodox file manager was created for copying files between two disks. File management on my phone still follows the same pattern: copy or move something between the phone's storage and, for example, an SFTP remote. The remote directories are pretty stable; it makes sense to bookmark them.
Meanwhile, on my computer one-off mass copying has become rare compared to the era of removable media. Most of my mass file operations are moving files to or from a subdirectory in a code project or renaming them. This is an awkward fit for an OFM: you need to go to directory A, duplicate its path to the other pane, switch to the other pane, and then navigate up or down a level to directory B. A dynamic "parent directory" or "../foo/" second pane might help.
I have a website/personal wiki with a collection of links on various subjects: https://dbohdan.com/.
I edit my comments a lot (sorry).
