      The first post cast mostly talks about starting from Windows 95. But there were also quite some Windows-only games for Windows 3.

      Probably the most prominent one would be the original Civilization 2.

      An other one is Indiana Jones and His Desktop Adventures, which is a rogue like running in a small window. It even made use of some standard Windows widgets for the game UI. It was made to run besides other Windows applications. Like taking a break from working on your Word document. Even though the game was quite basic, it was fun to play.

      Starting at 95 was because the DOS Game Club has already talked about covering Win 3x, and I hadn’t encountered any big-budget games for that platform.

      That said, I’m glad to hear at least one Civ game was published there.

      If there is enough interest, and DGC hasn’t already covered the same game, then I could be convinced.
