That was a great game. Unfortunately, it was buggy and hard to get to run even when it was new.

Your best bet would probably be to run it from Windows 98. *shudder*

Some sort of physical DRM for printed copies?

That sort of thing has been available for quite some time.

A dialog could appear on whenever a user tries to use a .desktop file for the first time that gives them an option to set the execute bit and some ominous text that briefly explains what it may meanâ"though the same set of people tend to click the Yes/Ok/InstallMyMalware button without reading.

I can scarcely imagine something more annoying. It's also totally unnecessary. A shortcut explicitly created by a user would be given execute. A downloaded shortcut would not have it. Like anything else in *nix.
