Windows 3.1 Online - With Minesweeper
- TallGuyShort 17y agoAwesome - I was just playing a JavaScript version of Lemmings: http://www.elizium.nu/scripts/lemmings/ http://www.elizium.nu/scripts/lemmings/. It's like I'm back in 1994 using the old '486!
- electromagnetic 17y agoI called my wife over and showed her how nerdy an upbringing I really had. I remember when 3.1 was new.
- TallGuyShort 17y agoHa ha - I found that site in the first place because my wife saw me playing GoldRunner on KDE and freaked out. "Oh my gosh - is that LEMMINGS!?" That, of course, made me freak out. "You know about LEMMINGS!?" So I just HAD to play Lemmings that day.
- Huppie 17y agoThe official lemmings is sadly down :( http://www.xs4all.nl/~crisp/lemmings/ http://www.xs4all.nl/~crisp/lemmings/
- timdorr 17y agoOnly problem I see is anti-aliased fonts. Those didn't get added until ClearType came along in Windows XP.
- hexley 17y agoWindows 98 had antialiased fonts.
- geoffb 17y agoWhere's QBasic?
- DrJokepu 17y agoEspecially since there is already a JavaScript-based QBasic engine: http://ajaxian.com/archives/qbasic-on-javascript http://ajaxian.com/archives/qbasic-on-javascript
- nopal 17y agoHey, Internet Browser passes the Acid 3 test!
- kuda 17y agoThe user string for the browser is whatever browser you happen to be using at the time. In Firefox 3.5.7 I get 93/100 on acid 3 from the internet browser in the app. It's odd that the address bar in the browser reverts to 127.0.0.1 no matter where you are. Does that happen to anyone else?
- goodside 17y agoGetting the current URL of an embedded frame showing a page on an external domain is (or at least should be) impossible due to restrictions on cross-site scripting. This is the same reason why when you view a page that's trapped in a Diggbar-style frame, if you click a link inside the framed site and later close the "bar", you get redirected back to the initial site. Try it: http://digg.com/u3L7UJ http://digg.com/u3L7UJ
- janj 17y agoMinesweeper doesn't end after you beat it, timer just keeps going.
- rglovejoy 17y agoWhen you right-click to mark where the mines are, the browser's popup menu comes up and you have to click again to get rid of the menu, thus eating up valuable minesweeping time. Can that be suppressed?
- tl 17y agoTimer stops when you mark all mines with a flag not when you uncover all safe squares. Also, left+right mouse function is missing (reveal all squares next to current one if mines have been marked).
- raffi 17y agoWow. That brings back memories in a big way. Just needs trumpet winsock, mIRC, and a nuker.
- outotrai 17y agoWow! I really like the attention to detail. You can change the desktop wallpaper with the genuine Windows 3.1 tile images, you can create and save files (which download to your actual computer), wildcards work in the file selection dialog... Of course not everything works, but this is a lot of fun.
- boredguy8 17y agoxyzzy <shfit>+<return> doesn't work in minesweeper, which was the first thing I 'tested'. I also tried xyzzy <return> <shift>+<return> because that's how I remembered it. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xyzzy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xyzzy)
- brandon272 17y agoNostalgia!
- randomwalker 17y agohttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/131764/recursive.png http://dl.dropbox.com/u/131764/recursive.png Well, somebody had to. I could get it to nest 10-fold, but after that the innermost browser window was unresponsive.

- rapind 17y agoAwesome. Exact same thing I did.
- pbhjpbhj 17y agoI browsed to my blog which has a frame breaker - http://alicious.com/2009/remove-digg-bar-from-website/ http://alicious.com/2009/remove-digg-bar-from-website/ - and it broke out... had forgotten I had the frame breaker until then.
- vkdelta 17y agoExcellent.. I remember my 90s !
- metamemetics 17y agoWindows 3.1 Online - like Windows 3.1, but more Ron Paul.
- plaes 17y agoWhere's Bomberman?!?
- InclinedPlane 17y agoCheck out the media player, there's some gems in there (like the Sesame Street skit).

- cellis 17y agoWho else tried running MS-DOS > dir right away? :)
- kloc 17y agoawesome!!
- hackworth 17y agoman, there was no web browser in windows 3.1. not even in windows for workgroups 3.11.
- isotherm 17y agoAlthough Internet Explorer 5 can be installed on 3.11.
- jheriko 17y agocool
- joubert 17y agoWhere's gopher?
- freakwit 17y agoDoes it have a .bmp viewer?
- ez77 17y agoPardon my ignorance (hope I'm not kicked out of HN), but how does this work? Is there a server? Is it pure Javascript? Clueless...
- jmonegro 17y agoIt's mostly Javascript and good ol' html/css. You can browse the source of the site with your web browser and check out all the JS goodness. There has to be a server to host the site, but I don't think it plays any other major role.
- ez77 17y agoThanks! (I realized after my submission that asking if there is a server is way too ignorant...)
- jdbeast00 17y agoi'm amazed that he didn't use a single helper javascript. no jquery, etc. Incredible.
- wjdix 17y agoWhere is ski-free?
- ben1040 17y agoIf only I could play "canyon.mid" with Media Player...
- mey 17y agoOne of his other projects thats pretty ingenious. http://www.michaelv.org/projects/labs/wireless.php http://www.michaelv.org/projects/labs/wireless.php
- jcw 17y agoDid Windows 3.1 have a Paint program? Also, this reminds me about how I used to carry around MiniVMac (a Macintosh emulator) running OS 7 on a thumb drive to keep random notes and drawings. It would be kind of cool if you could sign up an account on this site for that purpose.
