right? and what in the fuck is purble place?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

A fever dream.

TBH I’d forgotten this game existed till it was brought up in another thread a long while back. I probably only played like an hour of it out of curiosity, but yeah Space Cadet was my jam. This YouTuber has a pretty interesting vid on the game Purble Place.

Came here to say, if it's not including Space Cadet it's trash

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

These are vista games, these icons are the pinnacle of frutiger aero, space cadet was xp only.

It's available as a Flatpak, lol.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Shit goes dumb hard too. Got my highest score ever a few months back and I used to play this all the time as a kid

You forgot about Hover! which was bundled with Windows 95.

Chips challenge on win98 was awesome as a kid.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

chip's challenge is iconic

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Yes! Ahem, as a kid. Yes.

But not exclusive to windows.

[–] Running_Nose 3 points 4 months ago

It's on Steam!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

Oh, only on cd edition. No wonder I don't know it. We bought our Windows 95 on 26 floppies.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Remember HoverRace?

Pinball was ported, I can install from the aur now.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It says "PC exclusive" not " Windows exclusive". Linux PCs are still PCs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Don't forget Haiku.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Wait, whaaaat!!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

There is a ported version for 3DS, lol.

I don't like that Windows 7 is old enough to unironically be called a classic.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Windows 7 is 16 years old.

Classic cars are at least 20 years old but not older than 45 years...

It's nearly there

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I mean in software terms it's ancient. It's also the last mainstream OS which was popular before phones became the defacto target device of choice for every new software application.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

What are those older than 45 years?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Maybe vintage?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

You forgot the all time classic Dependency Resolution, and the psychological thriller "I fucked up my bootloader".

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

Some one actually grew up on Vista? I thought that was a myth

besides the objectively best PC exclusive is super Tux.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

No love for Jezzball?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

SuperTux, SuperTuxKart, 0 A.D, Xonotic, Sonic RoboBlast…

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

SuperTuxKart works on Switch!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Whenever I see the Purble eyes icon I think of that Zoombini educational game.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

FreeCell is my jam

A crime they were replaced by hot garbage

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

King just released Solitaire, so I guess it's not exclusive anymore

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I played this pick up stick one growing up on our 97, but I don't know if that was exclusive.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Modern windows solitaire has adds snd levels and stuff. I mean come on, give me a break. And minesweeper isn't preinstalled. You need admin rights and I don't have them on my work laptop which is the only windows computer I use

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

There are modded XP versions of all the classic Windows games that work in modern Windows. Look into those.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Nethack not included?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I won't mind a Balatro mod/remaster that make it look like Solitaire on Windows 7

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I was into Full Tilt, the pinball thing that I remember playing extensively on XP

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I am pretty sure Minesweeper was on Game Boy. And there are various versions of other games on various platforms as well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Many of these games are on other platforms.

Microsoft included Minesweeper and Solitaire in the early versions of Windows to teach users how to use a GUI interface. Minesweeper to teach differential of left and right click, and solitaire to teach users how to drag and drop. Neither were previously needed for most users.
