- Read the complete sentence. All-in-one. For a system of the OSs vintage, that means DOS+Win98 gaming with the possibility of rebooting into real DOS. For that task it is the best OS, I don't think there is any contest here. A 386 isn't even remotely fit for this task anyway, so of course to have an all-in-one gaming system you also need to have the appropriate hardware.
As always, if you know something that I don't know just edit it in. Isn't this a wiki?
