not really. MS-DOS 6.22, the last version of MS-DOS, was released not long before in 1994 Tomb Raider Command & Conquer: Red Alert Descent II Quake Duke Nukem 3D all came out in 1996 and no Windows 95 native version was available To get more developers on board DirectX, Microsoft approached id Software's John Carmack and offered to port Doom and Doom 2 from MS-DOS to DirectX, free of charge, with id retaining all publishing rights to the game. Carmack agreed, and Microsoft's Gabe Newell led the porting project. The first game was released as Doom 95 in August 1996, the first published DirectX game. Microsoft promoted the game heavily with Bill Gates appearing in ads for the title. We can almost say that 1996 was the pinnacle of "rendering in DOS"
