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. :)
idk i was only a babby then, just remember skipping it. and yeah it seemed to be common knowledge and general practice to skip over versions back then, don't think i've ever even seen ME, Vista or 8. things change i'm sure the same ancient 'laws of OS upgrades' won't apply to to win11 but old habits die hard. i'll probably be skipping it.
though these days i'm hoping linux will carry on the course its going down, i use that a lot for gaming through steam these days. surprisingly, Doom runs better on my PopOS installation than it does on windows?! go figure.
