This is why I loved OS/2 so much back when I played a lot of games.  Rather
than trial-and-error playing with memory managers, device drivers, multiple
config.sys files, etc, I could just launch a DOS session with the device drivers
loaded AND the full 640k of conventional memory free and play any game I wanted.  I
got DOS games to work in OS/2 that I could never get running in DOS.  The
funniest part was to show people Wing Commander and X-wing running at the same
time in DOS windows and watch their heads explode.
