programming • Games that shut out the OS (BITD)

$

Which games (back in the day) take over the machine, shutting out the OS as much as possible, and not calling the OS after initialisation? Seems quite rare, but perhaps I'm wrong.

e.g. Elite doesn't as it uses the OS to load and save when docking, and for save games. It controls interrupts carefully for timing the split screen effect though.

I can only think of maybe Exile, if that's right?
