Atlantis : The Lost Tales shipped with a DOS and Windows version on the same disc. The DOS version is pretty finicky and I've seen it lock up on multiple setups before even reaching gameplay.

Does anyone know if Magic Boy got an actual Windows version, or if this release was just the DOS version with a Windows installer?

Is this too much voodoo?

The Last Express: The Windows and DOS versions of The Last Express seem almost identical at first glance. Mouse movement is nicer under Windows, and the game can be set to higher refresh rates under Windows than in DOS.
Links LS 1997: The Windows version of Links LS having issues on Windows 98.

I am pretty sure it is still just the DOS version running under Win9x. At best they packaged a Windows-based installer.

Yeah you are right it was the DOS version with 490 mb of demos and video clips. 😁

Prisoner of Ice has 2 versions, a DOS vga/svga and a native Windows which is DOS compatible (the svga executable is on the disc).

The original Panzer General game had a release with the DOS and Windows 95 versions (possibly even a MacOS version) on the same CD. The Windows version pre-dated DirectX.

Jeff Vavasour wrote both the DOS/Win3.1 and Win95 releases of Williams Arcade Classics for Digital Eclipse. The application is an emulation of arcade games including Joust , Defender, Robotron, Sinistar, Stargate (Defender II) and Bubbles. The Windows 95 release has the distinction of being one of the few games that used DirectX 1.
