I'd have to ask my son (a college sophomore who uses Warp) for a
complete inventory. But I recall he likes to run some Front Page
Sports games, Earth Siege, and a number of Sierra games.

I gave one of my other sons a PC with Win9x beta and Flight Simulator.
Win9x complained and wouldn't run Flight Simulator in a session; 
my other son also now uses Warp (which runs FS just fine).
