Also all the other windows 95 games: Hover, Chip's Challenge, pipedream, that one with the lion and the mouse.
Honorable mention to the maze screensaver.
SkiFree, Chip's Challenge, and Pipedream were Windows 3.1 games.
No clue what this lion and mouse game was supposed to be.
19 0 ReplyThey all had windows 95 versions, which is where I played them.
Looking it up, the lion and mouse game was Rodent's Revenge
13 0 ReplyI guess that game had some cat enemies ...

IIRC Chip's Challenge was an Atari Lynx game which was then ported to Windows.

Anyone remembers a game called "Glider"? The goal was to awkwardly steer a paper plane through rooms with obstacles. Not sure what platform that was on tho, I played it with a buddy as a kid.

13 0 ReplyYep that was it, somewhere I mixed up the cats with lions.
