LOADHIGH=c:\mouse\mouse.sys

No, it was DEVICEHIGH= in config.sys to load .SYS drivers, and LOADHIGH (without an equals sign) in autoexec.bat to load an .EXE.
On my PC it required something else, making the boot files not quite that trivial. Maybe it was the sound card, or maybe it was due to the oddball MicroChannel bus and ESDI hard disk on that IBM PS/2 -- I can't remember.
I'm glad we don't have to do that stuff anymore just to play a game.
