Have this question, were there games released specifically for win 3.x? There were DOS games, that people ran from win 3.x but were DOS games, and when win95 came out, game developers started releasing games for win95. But commercial games made specifically for win 3.x, and besides solitaire and hearts, and the ones from entertaintment packs from microsoft.

Lots

Win95 didn't replace DOS/Win3x overnight - as well, Win3x games were often playable under 9x

I still see lots of games on CD for Win 3.1x. They are usually in the bargain bins at places that sell computer stuff and games. You have to do a lot of hunting but the CDs are often $5 U.S. or less.

That was pretty much my point in posting the search link (for the Google challenged)


The question read more like historical curiosity rather than a specific request, but there really are too many to list

Could someone list at least one or two titles? It was historical curiosity.
