Games here too. One reason for me is that MIDI music doesn't sound the same on new cards as it did in DOS games with SB cards.

Dos is the beast. Any game under dos runs better than it does under 95/98 unless the game was specifically made for Windows (and hardly any games came made for windows but compatable with DOS - because of Direct X etc).
Quake 1 runs faster and crisper and neater under Dos. So did Dungeon Keeper. You're talking 25 percent quicker. And with Smartdrv the load times were faster too. Then there conventional memory to play with via the autoexec.bat.
Dos Rocks.
Windows Sucks.
But I did reconsider that statement when I first installed the Diablo 1 demo.
