Not true.  Note labels on games such as Quake that say "Win95 Native"
_meaning_ it was made on a Win95 machine!

>Most SNES and GENESIS games were written for linux first.
Also untrue, not written on PCs (or macs.)  Written on breadboards hooked up
to circutry and chips.  Maybe some Saturn and Playstation games were written
on PCs, but not cartridge-based ones.

Maybe - but guess what? Win95 has a helluvalot _more_ games!
