Any good Windows 3.1 games?

Deadlock:Planetary Conquest was not bad as 4x TBSes of time went - somehow Civ2 didn't took off for me (only Civ1) but this thing did. IIRC req. WinG but not Win32s.

I got Deadlock as a game in one of those "30 in 1" packs halfway the 90's. I bought every issue of PC Gamer (UK) but that one I never got (got lost in the mail) so I had no idea if it was any good so when I tried it, I had no preconceptions and fell completely in love with it. Its clean interface combined with wide tactics made it very addictive.

No-one seems to have mentioned Monty Python's Complete Waste of Time and Quest for the Holy Grail, both which are 16 bit Windows based. They probably run fine in later versions, and are definitely ok in OS/2's WinOS/2, but they don't play well with WINE.

I have Complete Waste of Time - I wouldn't quite call it a game but it's amusing for a while.

I ran knights chase under Windows 3.1 on a 486, always thought it was a fun concept

What? The Alone In The Dark style game? I thought that was MS-DOS?

I had to test this so I checked my timegate cd... there is indeed a WINSTALL.EXE on it, it installs the game and creates icons in program manager but the game is a DOS one, it does not run in a window like the shots... maybe it does that with win95 - I tested on 3.11
