Oh grow up.  Face it, Warp isn't all that hot for _Windows_ games since it
has to emulate them.  I don't see Win95 doing such a hot job running OS/2
software... what's that... it can't?... oh yeah, that's right.

When Warp is running OS/2 games, it runs great.  When running DOS games,
it does pretty darn good (some faster, most a little bit slower, a few not
at all.) I suppose Win95 has the same track record on DOS games as OS/2,
except it runs them a bit better since it is sitting on top of DOS 7. Go
figure.

Last I checked Win95 ran Win 3.1 apps slower than Win 3.1.  Go figure.  It
has to emulate (surprise!)

If you want to run Warp adventure games, try AVARICE by Stardock systems.
If you want to run Warp action games, you will have to wait a few months
but they will start appearing too (I know this since I'm working on one
and have talked to others working on OS/2 games too).
