Ports of Entry: Dynamix

Unknown lead platform:

 

EarthSiege 2

Windows 3.x/Windows 95 release in March 1996

 

Rama

First released for DOS/Windows 95 in October 1996

Released for Macintosh in 1997


Rama is made with SCI 3.0, an engine which I assume targets Windows 95 as the primary software platform.
