You should be able to use that to create a bootable hard drive image 
file if you want, or just use a pile of disk images alongside that 
System one. A hard drive image file is probably better since some 
software will need to be installed on teh boot drive, and teh System 6 
disk image probably hasn't got much free space.

If the disk boots, then it must have a System Folder on it, even if 
it's a cut-down one just to run the game - it may not have a Finder, 
but is set to run the game instead after booting.
