You know how games use to come on a dvd or a big brick called a cartridge... Can i do something like that but in modern day. I have a bunch of blank dvd and cds collecting dust and linux os's but could i put game son them on installers and give them some cool art? Is there a better way to do this? This would also be for personal use cases.

Im just not sure how well save files would be handled, or if this is worth doing.

It's the same thing as before. You copy the files onto the floppy/cd/dvd/bluray/thumbdrive/external hard drive, etc.

You need to preserve the file structure. So the game will look in the same place for save files. Be it on your computer or somewhere else.
