OS/2



"Operate at a higher level."

OS/2 is an operating system by IBM, intended as the successor to MS-DOS. While it was thoroughly clobbered by Windows 95 in the home market, it was somewhat successful in the corporate area, and it was very strong running ATMs and point of sale terminals. IBM has long abandoned it, but there are two commercial systems derived from it: eComStation and ArcaOS.

As one would expect from this background, OS/2's library of games is almost nonexistent. To mitigate the dearth of native programs, it came with a virtual machine to run DOS applications (including Windows 3.x). More recently, Odin brought compatibility with Windows 9x and NT programs.
