Just to put in my 2 cents here.  I have OS/2 2.0 and regularly run Falcon 3.0,
which I consider to be a very "state of the art" PC based game.  As long as I
run nothing else (but OS/2 and PM, of course) while Falcon is up, it runs at
nearly the same speed as under DOS.  The difference in speed is hardly
noticable.  I run Falcon with full detail and high fidelity flight model, which
uses the math coprocessor.  The only thing I can't use is the Soundblaster
digitized speech stuff.  All of the sound effects work, but the digitized speech
doesn't.  I have a 486-33 w/8meg memory.

My point is that if a DOS game is written "correctly" (my definition :-), then
it should run well under OS/2 and still retain most of the features we come to
expect from state of the art DOS games...
