Windows 3.x also have been out on the market for quite some time,
game developers haven't been queueing up, have they?

IBM just simply haven't marketed OS/2 as a game platform before
Warp, SDS has said that some IBMers have even taken a hostile
view of GalCiv in the early stages too. ("What?!  A GAME for our
mission critical platform?!")

Things are changing now as IBM is releasing the Game Developer's
Kit and enhancing the DIVE interface (adding fullscreen
capability).  They have even silently released a joystick driver
for Warp too.

IBM is make OS/2 a better game platform, just that they do so
without the fanfare like MS did.

I have also heard about HOVER here, which is supposed to show off
how great Win95's game was, but turns out to be quite slow.

But does Win95 have any commercial games now?  OS/2 have quite a
bunch of shareware/freeware games too, but bringing them up
proves nothing.
