Any OS/2 or eCS users here?
Just curious. Ive used Warp 4.52 and its quite a blast and eComStation has been dubbed by many as Warp 5 as it truely is the sucessor to Warp 4. I havent used it but I think it would be fun to try out.
Older. Not wiser.

i always thought of warp 4 as out dated, even when new.
beOS on the other hand... wait... nevermind

What games can you play on it?

Trials of Battle - one of the coolest fps/vehicle games you can imagine. It is like Mech Warrior 2 but you are in tanks. Beautiful for its time, an incredible level of customability, and a gameplay that I sorely miss. Auto Assault was a close fix but still not the same. What I would give for customizable hovertank combat on xp...
Crown of Might - oldschool Defender of the Crown like game that ran in true 640x480 with 16 bit sound (if I remember correctly), when it was released (94ish) it was considered the most beautiful pc game out.
Other greats like Lemmings, Galactic Civ, and Entrepreneur, all have windows ports, but Trials of Battle and Crown of Might are doomed to obscurity.
One of my uncle helped develop software for the US goverment on OS/2, he bought all the programs so he could try and get his section of the government away from Microsoft (mostly for security reasons). Now they run a combination of windows boxes but you can still find the odd OS/4 box in there.

os/2 had a win3.1 layer in it.
