- Plea for playable sims and DOS vs Windows 95 debate 1997-11-29 · 93 postsA poster longed for the playability of the original World Circuit, complaining that new sims demand hardware few people own. The thread became a long argument over whether DOS games run faster than Windows 95 ones and whether DirectInput handled joysticks poorly. A developer said their Windows 95 build ran within 1 fps of DOS, and Jim Sokoloff noted NASCAR 1 was fast in VGA at launch while recalling Windows 95 games breaking other software.
