As many of you have undoubtedly already noticed, Windows 3.0
enhanced can be a little picky about running some DOS application,
and games seem to be the first to fail.
 
I'd like to compile a list of games that do and do not work under
Windows 3.0 enhanced, so that I can have some idea of what is and
isn't good to buy, and what I can hope to fix (by swapping versions).
If you have tried to run games under Windows 3.0 in enhanced mode,
I would greatly appreciate the following information:  
 
     which games? (name and publisher)  
     did it work - why/why not?
     date/time stamp and name of the executable 
     version number
 
If there is any interest I'll post a summary.  PLEASE direct all
replies to:

 but we really don't know which versions.  We've never
