Rapture (00:40:15)

"look what we can run on the desktop now"

oh yeah Doom for Win95 was a big demo project they showed off

mirrorbird (00:39:27)
Microsoft wanted a slice of that tasty DOS GAME PIE so they made Win95 more game-friendly with DirectX. which later became XNA / Xbox, and now it's something else, i don't know what it is now, arf

Rapture (00:39:16)
but doom via MSDOS was quite fast?

Rapture (00:39:07)
mirror, yup

Rapture (00:38:30)
peuple with too much time on their hands maybe. or sonic freax. or both. lol.

mirrorbird (00:38:23)
Rap: fast action games weren't really possible on Win3.x. simple stuff like Minesweeper, yes, and slow CD-ROM games like 7th Guest
