Now I'm glad I was at the tail end of DOS. My dad showed me how to interrupt the windows boot to get into DOS for Lemmings and Doom, but for everything else like Anno 1602, Need for Speed 2 and Age of Empires 1, I used Windows 95.

When windows was at version 3, I mostly had the computer booting to command prompt, type win to start windows

Though at some point I made a boot menu in autoexec.bat to let you choose windows, command prompt, or any of the games installed
