OK - I've spent £2.29 and got Stars! running on my Nexus7.

Thanks to gible for the pointers....

First of all install "DosBox Turbo" and "DosBox Manager" as linked above (DosBox itself cost £2.29 at the time of writing, the Manager is free)
Then download the http://wiki.starsautohost.org/files/DOSBoxStars.rar and expand to somewhere on your SD card (or emulated storage)
NB - I had to download it to a PC, extract it and zip it for transfer - the rar didn't get expanded properly on the device
Then open DosBox Manager, add a new profile and "Edit Config", "DosBox Settings" (Advanced DosBox configuration), "Autoexec" (Edit autoexec.bat) and put in the following:

mount c: /storage/emulated/0/DOSBox/DOSBoxC
c:
windows\win /n c:\stars\stars.exe -x
exit

where /storage/emulated/0/DOSBox/DOSBoxC is where you have extracted the above rar...

Add your Stars! serial and you're golden.
This is going to revolutionise my ability to keep a game around...
