I originally thought the same thing.  Even though I was running Win95, I 
was really hoping that gaming wouldn't go that way... I liked my DOS games
the way they were.
 
I think Microsoft made a blunder releasing Hover, especially as one of the
first Win95 games... it really didn't make a good impression. However, after
seeing Pitall, my opinion has made a full 180.  The game plays as smoothly
as any DOS game, with lots of background animation and large sprites.  The
sound is mixed perfectly with no glitches or interuptions.
 
Definately check out Pitfall and THEN determine whether gaming under Win95
has a chance...
