One workaround Microsoft has done for use-after-free is detecting when an application is prone to this and using an allocator that doesn't actually free RAM immediately. It believe that lovely bit of fun is a function of "Heap Quarantine".

Yes, the real, can't say no world of system software is not what one might wish.

Not too different to using MS's mimalloc to run zenlisp under OpenBSD because the core malloc will just tell good try, but GTFO to the interpreter.

IIRC Sim City 2000 is one such piece of software.

It was SimCity Classic.
