I tend to think not. After all, that was one of the big draws of OS/2, that it could run Win 3.x apps as well (generally) as Win 3.x.

I never found that to be true. When I tried to run Windows stuff, it always ran rather erratically - of course the early Windows programs always ran erratically anyway, even Microsoft-written programs, at least until Quicken and Ami Pro came out.

The killer (at that time) for me was Doom. Doom never could handle sound under OS/2, or indeed most peoples' sound cards. (I heard rumors that some did work, but never saw it happen myself.) The death knell for OS/2 on my computer was the (first) enthusiastic announcements of porting Doom to OS/2, the rumors of betas, then the long silence, then the idsoftware .plan file saying "We don't know what's going on with OS/2 Doom, and stop asking."

When I realized the only things I were doing under OS/2 were Nethack and Galactic Civilizations (who, from reports, had an unbelievably hard time getting it to work around the so-called OS/2 graphics module that was going to be the direct competition to that pre-DirectX Microsoftie ploy (geez, I can't even remember its name, it faded so quickly from the scene), it was over. Doom ran perfectly under Windows 95. I missed Galactic Civilizations, but oh well.

At that time I only had one computer, and OS/2 was just sitting there eating disk space.

[edit - added the last paragraph]

WinG was the do-all and end-all of Windows games, better than sliced bread, was going to ultimize the gaming experience...

until Microsoft tossed it out.

It was the *ULTIMATE* in Microsoft crap, pre-announcing, doing stuff that wasn't worth sherlock until they got their *real* plans in gear. There was a Windoom that used WinG, and I'd bet id software kicks themselves for falling for the Microsoft bullshit.
