A complete second year of Early Windows Gaming covering 1994. It’s not the best year just yet, but it’s better than 1993 was and a good goodbye to the 3.x era before 1995 brought us new Windows and DirectX. So, let me know what you think! This video is composed out of 2 previously released episodes for the year. So, if you were watching them as they were coming out, this is NOT a new content for you.

Thank you for your hard work, Batman. Have an extra donut and some Hoop Cola, you deserve it
OMG Metal Marines! I totally forgot about that one. Thanks for the nostalgia.
Looking forward to Spaceward Ho! in part 2.
Always thought that Larry 6 was a Dos only game😅
The "critical flaw" in the Pentium was real, and it was a big story, but was hardly critical. I doubt there was proof that it ever mattered anywhere, just proof that it was noticed by a math researcher.. Wikipedia quotes a 1 in 9 billion error rate for floating point division calculations. This is a lot of floating point division operations.
If the errors were large, that still could be one thing, but the errors only occur after 4 digits of precision. This might be a problem for integer math, but floating point is expected to lose precision. It's rare that the result of a floating point division operation would be very different after 4 digits of precision, or that the difference would matter at all. Even if you hit it, it's likely to be part of a huge number of calculation and be written off as the tiniest bit of noise.
Outpost 1…
I love that game even though it beats me…
OMG operation innerspace!! thats it! <marks off one of the last few checkboxes on an old list, his lips slowly form into a soft smile>
Man, I love seeing those obscure games. I have fond memories of Outpost and its silly "panic button". Still, I think you missed what is for me the very best Windows 3.1x game: Sim Tower! I still have it installed in all my VMs that can run Windows 3.x-9x!
