There was also SFU which was a first party “BSD on Windows”
I had to use it in the past and it’s genuinely awful. MobaXterm was the best before WSL (imo)

SFU was so much later to the game, while BOW ran on Windows 3.1 which would have been great had it had far bigger appeal as you could just run it on such lesser machines. The best part being no formatting, no device drivers, or changes to the OS at all. I just copied over to my PS/2, and was playing hack 1.03 in no time.
[1] Well, Microsoft published it, but IIRC, another company developed it.
I always wanted a distribution of Windows that booted character mode and ran the Interix userland.
