Win NT wasn't a successor to Win 95, it was a parallel track for business use. It later became Win 2000, and is now what we call Win x Pro or Enterprise. Its historical versions were more stable and provided things for corporate networks that home users don't necessarily need like the ability to log into a domain controlled by a server (domain controller).
I wouldn't necessarily have wanted to play games on NT or 2000 though, because that isn't what they were really designed for. I saw a lot of people bring home their office computers still running Win 2000 after their offices upgraded their hardware and they were totally stumped by what seemed like them to be a successor to Win 98 but it really was something quite different.
As for skipping over ME, Vista, and Win 8, my official assessment is that you didn't miss a single thing by doing that other than pain and frustration. :)
