- std_throwaway 9y agoYou can actually win the game in the solitaire clone; the minesweeper clone not so much.
- Drakim 9y agoGame -> Options -> Troll mode Uncheck that box and you'll have a chance :D
- ahacker15 9y agoAwesome that this even work well on mobile browsers! Is this open source? So we could see how it was made?
- kowdermeister 9y agoSort of :) Explore the "c drive" to learn about the libs. I couldn't find an uncompressed version of the main code, but in the Chrome devtools most scripts are uncompresed.
- msq 9y agoOpen credits.txt on the desktop.
- blntechie 9y agoAmazing that this was built in HTML/JS/CSS.
- noway421 9y agoTerrifying one might say
- josteink 9y agoWell. It's still certainly easier than writing it from scratch, or through C/C++ and Windows GDI APIs.
- Asraelite 9y agoOne thing I can't figure out is how they implemented shaders in the FX program with the whole thing being rendered on the DOM instead of a canvas.
- revolly 9y agoIt's CSS SVG filters. Hilarious :-D
- shimon_e 9y agoBack button goes back to previous app. If this can get the back button to work correctly why can't Google AMP?
- JulianWasTaken 9y agoYou call that correctly? It's a nightmare
- mabynogy 9y agoTake a look at GAFA3D (near Defrag icon). There is an interesting level called "Operation Stallman" ;-)
- std_throwaway 9y agoI only get a black window after the startup screen.
- veli_joza 9y agoThat's Wolfenstein 3D with some tasteless changes of game art. I think there are no changes in level layouts.
- emidln 9y agoJust need an IRC gateway for trollbox
- sbarre 9y agoHalf-Life 3 confirmed!
- beobab 9y agoI have been waiting for a while, and am not entirely sure I believe you.
- krrrh 9y agoThis is a work of art. The ProgressQuest game loading screen is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while. Like all well-told jokes, it's in the timing.
- Jach 9y agoIt's been a good joke for a while, let it run in the bg of your workstation for years and see how high a level you can get! http://progressquest.com/ http://progressquest.com/
- josteink 9y agoThis concept has also been adopted on IRC as IdleRPG. I guess it's an in-joke about people leaving IRC-clients running in persistent shell-sessions and never checking in. That said, it can be a lot of fun :)
- scrame 9y agoProgressQuest[1] was an actual "game" many years ago. It was kind of the progenitor of the current incremental/idle games. Looks like its basically the whole thing compiled to this ui. [1] http://progressquest.com/ http://progressquest.com/
- behnamoh 9y agoThis is one of the coolest things that happened in the web for a long time.
- runnr_az 9y agoThat's clearly a labor of love. Nice job!
- ninjakeyboard 9y agoI've been staring at the half life 3 loading screen for the last 6 hours. I don't think it's going to start.
- meerita 9y agoWe are two.
- delinka 9y agoYou’ll need to have waited 3^(33+(1/3)) to see it launch. Note: units intentionally left blank
- ClassyJacket 9y agoNanoseconds... three months. I can handle that.
- candiodari 9y agoEasily. Besides it's just a 0.05% rise in my tab count.
- make3 9y ago.. Also, probably unsurprisingly, vulve is french for Vulva.
- nickpsecurity 9y agoIt was probably that "unsettling, disk operation" or one of the "trojan's." I think I saw the former. It came and went so fast. :)
- nnfy 9y agoThis was (intentionally?) painful on my Nexus 5. Interesting nonetheless. I suppose it wouldn't be windows93 without some degree of discomfort.
- TeMPOraL 9y agoTook a cursory look for now; few things I love: - Half Life 3 - Defrag <3. - Running Windows93 inside Windows93 inside Windows93 inside Windows93... A work of art, indeed. Kudos!
- vxxzy 9y agoJust a suggestion... Open up the calculator and do 0/0.
- nom 9y agonow I get the urge to build a physical calculator that explodes if you try to calculate 0/0 :D
- zumatic 9y agoIIRC for a while the Amiga calculator would crash the OS if you did that.
- pgeorgi 9y agoSomebody took 'undefined behavior means that your compiler may optimize out large swathes of code in favor of execve("/usr/games/nethack"); way too seriously" :-)
- jordache 9y agowould be great if he reproduced the 3.11-3.10 subtraction bug
- jancsika 9y agoWhere is the project hosted? I'd like to throw some event handlers on "Puke Data" to allow changes to the dsp graph.
- chrisb 9y agoMaking Arena93 full-screen (within Windows93) hard-crashed my Mac! (MacOS 10.12.4, using Chrome 58)
- tambourine_man 9y ago"Safari is the new Internet Explorer" Accidental "works best in browser X" 90s reference right there. I find Safari superior to every other browser on any platform in every possible metric except for dev tools, which took a nose dive when they ditched the open source WebKit one for this calamity.
- jrimbault 9y ago> I find Safari superior to every other browser on any platform I can't really disagree with you, but Safari is exclusive to macOS...
- tambourine_man 9y agoSo? Webpage rendering is a well defined enough problem that I think a cross browser, cross platform comparison is valid.
- maaaats 9y agoThose using IE6 also thought it was the best for a long time. Only because developers adhered to it's quirks, though, so stuff worked there (and not in "better browsers"). In the same way people accommodate Safari today, otherwise you would have felt left out a long time ago.
- tambourine_man 9y ago>Those using IE6 also thought it was the best for a long time. And it was. Is was also closed source and had its own ideas of what standards mean (even though its “version” of the box model actually makes more sense and it's generally preferred by most developers today. Oh yeah, and Ajax.) Webkit, on the other hand, is open source and a huge proponent of standards compliance.
- Nadya 9y agoThe joke isn't "works best in IE" the joke is "Safari is the default browser that ships with the OS, few people get a better browser, and even though it's a piece of shit you have to continue supporting it." >I find Safari superior to every other browser on any platform in every possible metric except for dev tools I could remove nearly 15% of my CSS if I stopped supporting Safari at work and I wouldn't need a hundred different quirky workarounds to make the sites look even remotely how they're supposed to look. It fights me every inch of the way and then has some of the worst dev tools for debugging where any issues are. I'd rather support IE8 for eternity if it means I never have to write another `@media screen and (min-color-index:0) and(-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0) {}` in my CSS again.
- Paul_S 9y agoInspired. Microsoft should learn from this and include the "Reinstall" button in the start menu of windows 11.

- caub 9y agoskype is broken, very realist
- vocatus_gate 9y agoYou can actually right-click on the files in the "file explorer" and download them to your desktop IRL.
- partycoder 9y agoI am impressed they went to the extents of making Wolfenstein 3D levels.
- int_19h 9y agoI suspect it just uses the original levels as is. I replayed E1M1, and literally every single thing - items, secrets, even wall decorations - was where it was in the original map (don't ask me why I still remember these things...). The only differences are in replaced graphics. Also, the secret room elevator does take you to the secret map, which, at the first glance, also looked like the right thing.
- vocatus_gate 9y agoThis site is my favorite page to put full-screen on coworkers' computers when they forget to lock their screens.
- lordofire 9y agoGood idea:)
- edgarvm 9y agoSolitude does not accept drag and drop on android
- elipsey 9y agobug report: i broke it by making a folder on the desktop, opening the folder, and putting the folder in itself. now it's crashed and won't reload. is there a work around for my workflow?
- ouid 9y agoworking as intended, moved to wontfix
- 13of40 9y agoAmiga (Kickstart 1.2 or 1.3 I think) had a similar bug, except the folder just disappeared forever.
- gerdesj 9y agoIt works for me.
- glenneroo 9y agoI couldn't crash it but I was able to open 4 virtual machines of itself before the 5th finally did nothing but open a gray window.
- TheWoodsy 9y agoTake a look at A:\system32.dll I wonder how many hours I could waste looking for more Easter eggs ;]
- akira2501 9y agoI saw that RSS icon and my first instinct was to check and see if Java needed an update.
- devuo 9y agoBrilliant! Kudos to the authors
- koyote 9y agoThis is awesome! It's also quite buggy (chrome/linux) which adds to the whole Windows 9x feeling. Not sure if intentional but well done anyhow!
- gerdesj 9y agoI run the same(ish) as you. How are you killing it? It's been stable for me so far.
- piyush_soni 9y agoThere are many javascript errors for me in Firefox.
- joecool1029 9y agolol'd that it won't run in Mobile Safari (calls it new Internet Explorer) but will run in Microsoft Edge.
- deleted 9y ago[deleted]
- strin 9y agoAt first, I thought this is a VNC connecting to a Win93 in a virtual machine. Then I realized everything is written with web technology.
- andrius4669 9y agoWould webasm port make this actually real?
- tripzilch 9y agoBut it is real.
- marxdeveloper 9y agoWoah shameless plug, my game is "Windows93 SP2" compatible it seems - right click on desktop - Create shortcut.

- flavio81 9y agoFinally, an operating system for my Android phone that will let me do useful stuff, like playing Wolfenstallman 3D!!
- gallerdude 9y agoBest ratio of Comedy:Operating System that I could have ever imagined.
- seoseokho 9y agoIn castle gafa, what does the amazon computer do?
- devniel 9y agobananamp playlist please, I googled it without success.
- chenster 9y agoThis is the OS of the future!

- tcbawo 9y agoByteBeat plays a familiar tune, it's pretty catchy.
- edward_rolf 9y agoI came here to use my fav browser, IE 3. You could add bookmarks and it supported CSS I believe. :(
- laumars 9y agoThe part that impressed me the most is you can drag and drop files from your own desktop onto this. It even opens those files in it's own editors when you double click the icon.
- huxflux 9y agoI can't get my HL3 to work, anyone has a fix? I took three days of from work, and now this.
- graeham 9y agoI was going to protest the full Lena image without a NSFW warning, but hadn't realised the full story of its history[1]... The site in general is a beautiful work of art, a great blend of attention to detail with comedy of computing in that era. [1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenna https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenna - tl;dr is this iconic test picture for computer imaging was a cropped Playboy centerfold from 1972. I've just finished a PhD which included a fair bit of image processing, but I was unaware of the story behind this iconic image.
- PostOnce 9y agoYou were going to protest it? And do you think anyone would care about your protest? Do you really expect everyone else to annotate the entire internet on your behalf? Despite the fact that this is a totally random, joke website that is almost certainly not work related? What about people in countries or workplaces where "unacceptable" is a far broader and more oppressive net than "contains nudity", or places where nudity is fine? For whom do we annotate the internet? Maybe you should just disable auto-load of images in your browser or install a nudity filter. This is insane.
- jaapz 9y agoYou're overreacting to a very small and not very relevant part of their comment which probably just meant "making a comment about the NSFW nature of the image". Not "i'm going to make a sign and force everyone to stop using this website". Calling this insane is... insane
- PostOnce 9y agoWho complains about stuff on someone else's website not being tagged NSFW? It's their website, they didn't name it workrelated.com -- I just thought "protest" sounded a little extreme and a sign of our sensitive new culture, where we each expect everyone else to tiptoe around us. Maybe I misinterpreted.
- graeham 9y ago
- akoster 9y agoJust curious, is anyone else hearing popping sounds when they click on various things? Unsure if its intentional, and if so, trying to emulate an old hard disk seeking or speakers popping from interference. Otherwise, kudos to the devs for creating this amazing work of art!
- laurent123456 9y agoPity the Run dialog doesn't work, I wanted to try "c:\nul\nul" [0] [0] http://windowsitpro.com/security/device-names-crash-win9598 http://windowsitpro.com/security/device-names-crash-win9598
- josteink 9y agoThis site has a uncanny attention to detail: The C-drive inside "Virtual PC" differs from the C-drive in the "host OS"! Given that kind of zealotry, it irks me that you can launch an infinite amount of nested "Virtual PCs". Obviously it makes for some fun screenshots and is technically impressive in itself, but Windows early on never allowed you to run Virtual PC inside Virtual PC. So this is clearly wrong! In short, not considering OCD, where do I file the bug-report? :)
- shanavasm 9y agols lists the directory and dir is not defined > Special Thanks GNU/Linux LOL
- sajithdilshan 9y agoIf only Windows 9X had these kind of slick animations...
- Jemm 9y agoI really miss Defrag. It is zen to watch.

- xg15 9y agoCan I type Google into Google somewhere?
- pavement 9y agoIs there a code repo for this?
- yellowapple 9y agoSo apparently Symantec Endpoint Protection thinks that the Virtual PC app is some kind of "Fake App Attack", and thus cuts off network communication for 600 seconds. Curious.
