Why should Gamers Adopt Win95?

"Before long, the games are all going to be Win95."
-- Zack Simpson, director of tech, Origin Systems.

"But it looks like, with Win95, Microsoft has really been trying to
make an upgrade.....
....And from what we've seen, we should be able to do pretty hot
products under Win95"
--Dave Kaemmer, Vice Pres and chief tech officer, Papyrus.

"Despite what a few naysayers maight think, Win95 is going to be the
platform of choice for new game development within a year...if not
sooner. Just about every publisher in games is gearing up to support
it -- including Origin, Mindscape, Activixion, Spectrum Holobyte,
Papyrus, Electonic Arts, Sierra, Virgin, and many more. There'll be
stragglers, but not many."
-- Tim Victor & Matt Firme

"They've really fixed the problems we've been facing. At this point in
time, it is easier to write a game in Windows95 than it is in DOS. And
from the users point of view, we'll be able to give them a game where
they just put the disc in, and we'll take it from there, all of those
install problems will seem to vanish."
-- David Petchy, staff scientist, Mindscape.
