Looking for yet another "list".
Anyone have a listing of all the DOS titles that were also made available in Windows format (3.1 or 9x)?
Off the top-of-my-head, I know that "Big Red Racing", "Out of this World" <originally "Another World" in Europe>, "King's Quest V", "Freddy Pharcus: Frontier Pharmacist" and "Gobliiins" were all made available in Windows as well as DOS.
<DOOM (& all it's variants) are available as well, but the Source Ports of these titles are far better.>
I know that Another World/Out of this World was giving headaches to those trying to run the DOS version under 2000/XP so I gave the Windows version a try (I found this little gem on CD at a "Half-Price" bookstore clearance rack for 50 cents).
The Windows version can be run in a window or full-screen (if your Desktop isn't set to 256 colors, then the windowed version's palette will be mangled).
Runs fullscreen with sound just fine on Win98 with one exception. Enabling MIDI causes an immediate crash. Runs in windowed mode just fine on XP with both sound effects and MIDI, but you can't play Full-Screen. Odd.
(On XP you can use the 256-color option on the Compatibility Tab to keep a proper color palette).
In any case, I know I can play it now without messing with speed/IRQ/DMA settings, etc...
(The original Amiga version should also be quite playable).
Ok, this is a very preliminary list of the DOS game titles that were also available for Windows (not DOS games running within Windows). Most of the data was retrieved from MobyGames with a few minor corrections. This is just to get started. Some of these were only available for Windows in a later re-release (with a partial name-change).
<NOTE: I tried to leave out the majority of Add-ons because they usually work for both DOS and Windows as well. Also, Quake add-ons probably number in the thousands and would just hose the whole purpose of the list.>

A few surprises here like "1942: The Pacific Air War" (Gold) and Tyrian 2000. A few I'm not so sure about like "Descent II" and
"Destruction Derby 2".
