Windows 93 in JavaScript

In the trash can there&#x27;s a strange zip file you can download. Unzipping it reveals a readme.txt, which says:<p><i>Sorry, no album download for the moment, our server is under reddit hug... The album is also here : <a href="https://jankenpopp.bandcamp.com/album/poire-c-poire-v" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jankenpopp.bandcamp.com&#x2F;album&#x2F;poire-c-poire-v</a> </i><p>Going to this bandcamp it mentions:<p><i>THE IDEA BEHIND THIS ALBUM WAS TO MAKE A DEVIANT DANCE MUSIC LABEL TO RELEASE THIS HORRIBLE TRACKS, BUT THIS PROJECT WENT TOTALLY WRONG AND BECAME THE THING KNOWS AS WWW.WINDOWS93.NET THERE IS A LIMITED SD-CARD EDITION OF THIS ALBUM THAT YOU CAN BUY FROM ME IRL FOR 10€ THIS ALBUM WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR FREE BUT HIDDEN ON WIN93 SOON, IF YOU SUCCEED TO FIND IT. </i><p>So I guess that&#x27;s the backstory.

It is somewhat disconcerting to discover that someone has made what is essentially a version of my current project as a gag.

I can&#x27;t believe I just got sucked into Solitaire on this thing

Funny and, for a gag, surprisingly thorough and complete.<p>Could you please allow closing windows by doubleclicking on the top-left(!) corner of a window? I kinda need that (e.g. this still works for the file explorer on Windows 7, even though there is no icon).

I&#x27;m playing snake... in a Windows defragmenter, in JavaScript. I&#x27;m lost for words.

This website just taught me that there is an HTML5 Speech Synthesis API! And there are so many accents you can choose from!

Pretty interesting! Started playing with the nested virtual machines, windows93 stopped loading after the 9th instance ;)

What music it is when you start the defrag program ? I am sure I know the tune but just dont remember it ? some old game ?

1. What is Windows93?<p>2. That worked scarily well on my 3.5&quot; Android phone (chrome).

This is great! Nice easter eggs, too: &quot;Cat Explorer&quot; redirects facebook.com to ello.co.

&quot;totally not a virus&quot; was quite amusing.

PokeGlitch is surprisingly playable (if you&#x27;re very familiar with Red), once you get past the two-minute Growl move sound.<p>e: Or not, as the Viridian PokeCenter crashed the game. Was fun while it lasted, though.

My favorite is pokeglitch. Otherwise this is before my time, I&#x27;ve never seen 93&#x2F;95&#x2F;98 (my elementary school had machines running 2000 and DOS, though).

There&#x27;s a virtual PC, which is Windows 93 on Windows 93.

Ah, very nice. And everything is there:<p>Stupid games, random images, random sound snippets you really had to have on your computer, nice gradient background (anyone ever changed the color gradient of the title bar with TuneUp 97 or whatever that was called?)<p>Nostalgia.<p>Edit: Oh god, Acid Box... one of my first DirectDraw attempts with a tutorial had me program a sin-wave with almost exactly that font.

If anyone is interested in playing the roms in &#x2F;C&#x2F;files&#x2F;roms&#x2F;sms&#x2F;, they can be played with an emulator like Kega Fusion[1]. There is a decently sized collection of games...<p><a href="http://www.carpeludum.com/kega-fusion/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.carpeludum.com&#x2F;kega-fusion&#x2F;</a>

Can someone please tell me where the start-up sound is from? It&#x27;s so familiar.

Solitaire (Solitude) is nice but it has a weird bug, some cards cannot be found

This loads about 10 times faster in Chrome than Firefox for me

With the full photo of Lenna (after resizing the image).

The bookmarks in Cat Explorer are priceless. Especially the Pr()n list... tickled my immature parts immensely. (Self-deprecating pun intended.)

I... didn&#x27;t even know there was a Windows 93.<p>edit: oh, right.

Virtual box is awsome :&lt; <a href="http://imgur.com/4Lwd9ro" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;4Lwd9ro</a>

I was very hopeful when I saw Ecco.

WOW This is better then Windows7. Any one knows keyboard keys for &quot;Castle GAFA 3D&quot;

If you go into catexplorer, click on &quot;P()rn&quot;. Quite a list of unfortunately URLs!

You can open windows93.net in Cat Explorer to run Windows 93 in Windows 93

Great Wolf version! jaja

acid box 93 is my jam

Wow, this is incredible.<p>Massive shout out to the people who made this.

I can&#x27;t wait for Windows 94.

Cool, love the icon names.

anybody else tried winception?

It&#x27;s awesome, I am playing my childhood game from like half an hour

played with it yesterday, loved the playstation intro
