Okay my nerds, hit me with your must-have and favourite Windows 3.11 applications and games (no DOS stuff). I want to see just how much crap I can stuff into this Windows 3.11 VM.

@thomholwerda There are some good 3.11 native ports of the Macventure games -- Uninvited, for example -- that would be worth looking into. Or other games that make extensive use of the subwindow function of Windows, like Sim Park.
