You're not mentioning the most exciting Win95 games that are
coming: The Hive, and Origin is talking about having 95 titles
out "soon"  (See PCGamer Aug, 1995)

And whoever is talking about this bad dos multitasking is 
out of their mind.  I've multitasked Doom, turned off the sound,
then loaded Iplay & some of my favorite mods & went at it.  It's
much better that way.  No dragging sound, no slowdowns in
Doom, nothing.  And, it's even possible to run Doom & Descent
simultaneously.  (Course, you better have 24 meg of RAM <G>)
