W95 was the OS that made me give up on OS/2 Warp. I loved OS/2... but IBM sucked, and W95 came out and worked.
It's not me, it's someone else.

“God this is such a pain in the ass,” said Daniel, age 17.

It was, Daniel. It was.

He ought to try running some of the last-gen DOS games on that thing. It was around the time FMV was the fad, so some of the DOS memory requirements got downright insane.

Some classics:
7th Guest
Phantasmagoria
WC3 and 4 (even 1 and 2 sucked, but these two were in their own league)
Privateer I and II (OMG FUCK getting Privateer II to run on W95 ... I forget the magic formula you had to follow)
Ultima VII: the Black Gate and its goddamned, shove a broomstick up your ass sideways Voodoo memory manager
Ultima VIII: Pagan
Diogenes of Sinope: "It is not that I am mad, it is only that my head is different from yours."
