Hahaha that's funny. But you are right Windows is a shell.

The first computer I purchased with my own money in 87 was a Sanyo with twin floppy drives. The "new" 5.25 floppies which were still floppy. I bought the upgrade to 640k Ram and the 8088-2 processor. The dash 2 meant it had a Turbo button. When the heck would you not use the Turbo button?

It was like $2800. An enormous amount. I bought a brand new Plymouth Horizon next year for $5500.

That was the computer I ran Wolfpack? on. I remember the graphics being incredible at the time.

Talk about having trouble getting games to run. It was no fun in a DOS environment. The shell has made things a bit easier.
