I actually played and sold WC3 before I began running Win95... but I CAN say
that Dark Forces works fine.  It's really hard to tell that you're even
running it under Win95 until you hit the loading portions of the game...
they take a lot longer.  However, I can understand that since there's a lot
of memory management going on... but once the game is going, it plays damn
fast.
 
Let's see, what games have I tried under Win95... Dark Forces, Tie Fighter,
X-Wing CD, X-Com 2, Descent, Doom II, Alone in the Dark III... hmm, I know
I've played more but I can't think of them right now.  Tie Fighter, X-Wing,
X-Com 2, Descent, oh.. Heretic too... they all ran in Window as well.  Mind
you, it's kinda too slow to be playable in a Window (except maybe X-Com)
but it's neat to see it run that way.  The only problem I found is that Win95
didn't seem to give the Windowed game control of the palette when it was
in focus... all of them ran fine in full-screen though.
 
I also had most of these running under OS/2 with no problems either... though I
never got the chance to try Descent or X-Com II under OS/2.  Tie Fighter,
X-Wing, Heretic, etc all ran in a window under OS/2 as well.
