However, it retained many of the limitations of MS-DOS 3.0, including the inability to use memory above 640 KB.<\/p>\n<p>While neither version set the world on fire\u2014and perhaps overall both releases should be viewed more as Vista than Windows 7\u2014I&apos;m pretty sure it was one of these versions I used on our rubbish spare room machine, and that it allowed me to play Doom and <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uvlist.net\/game-43379-F+15+Strike+Eagle+II\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">F-15 Strike Eagle II<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That was good enough for little ol&apos; me.
