When I was in 5th grade, my teacher had a copy of BOWEP on a floppy disk and let us take it home so we could play chips challenge. By the time it got to me, it had a virus on it.
I remember Jezzball. My co-worker and I used to play that on our computers at work until the boss saw what was going on and uninstalled all the games on all the computers. We never liked him even before that incident.
In Rodent's Revenge, I always saw it as the mouse condensing the yellow cat into yellow paste and just slurping up its liquefied corpse. I was a disturbed child, blame Wolfenstein 3D for having the blood drinking mechanic.
Thank you for this! Been watching your stuff for several days now and completely forgot about Chip's Challenge. I am off to play this gem now. I haven't played it since I was 4 or 5.
I loved the Windows Entertainment Pack. Someone at my votech school brought in a floppy with the games on it and we all passed it around and installed them on our PCs. After I had a laptop, I copied them onto it and spent hours playing Taipei, JezzBall, Cruel Solitaire, SkiFree. Great memories. I wish MS still made these.
I had the best of pack on my Packard bell computer from back in the day. I do have all the packs and make it run via dosbox. I made a package that is ready to go with all the entertainment packs. If you want it shoot me a message.
Clint, thank you. I was thinking of Chip's Challenge earlier, but could never remember the name of it! I'm glad I ran across this video, it brought back a lot of memories from my childhood. You, sir, are awesome!
it was my family's ambition to try and finish chips challenge. also, does anyone else associate a particular smell with old experiences, like when I saw him playing the cat and mouse game, I could actually smell something, which really brought back the memory
I always enjoyed seeing just how long I could outrun that snow monster in SkiFree using the jumps. :) Thanks for taking me back to my early teens again dude! These and Microsoft Arcade were the first games I ever played on a Windows PC!
This is easily one of my favourite channels on TH-cam; You never fail to entertain. I didn't own this pack of games, so I haven't got the nostalgic angle of these titles that most would have, but man do I want to play that SkiFree game... :D
I love it because instead of reviewing and only telling you the pros and cons he actually adds lively humor and dosent give that Robotic commentator feel.
Geez Clint really a way to make me really nostalgia-gasm, not only with BoWEP but with the Packard Bell you showed. I owned that and was my first Windows 95 machine. Thanks!
Yes! My mom had a Gateway 2000 when I was 3 or 4, I had the best time playing SkiFree and Chips Challenge on it. And I was obsessed with Paint. We still have my mom’s old Gateway, so maybe I’ll have to boot it up and see what’s on it from my childhood.
You jogged my memory of Jezzball! I played a number of these games when I was a teenager alongside listening to whatever the 90s precursor to emo music was and alternated with Sim City 2000 and as soon as I saw the game the suppressed memories came flooding back. At some point then I discovered much better music than my dirges of doom and ditched the over-reliance on computer patience but it's nice to have a reminder about my emo phase every once in a while.
You really have a knack for making these videos man. Great job. Entertaining, informative, and nostalgic. Reminds just how great G4TV used to be. :'( Anyway keep up the great content. Cheers!
I played Ski Free more than any other snow based game. The slalom I used to constantly try to beat my personal best time. I played it more than even 1080 on the N64. What a classic!
Yep, some of these games were the best part of my day when I got to play them as a kid. Jezzball was my favourite, but Jezzball and Chip's Challenge were also up there. Ski Free was good too.
I played these games at school in the early 90s. Or to be more accurate, I pretty much only played SkiFree. Thanks for making all these reviews of old (and new) PC games and for the home computer reviews.
I remember always playing Herman and the Falling Rocks. The death music and his disturbing clown face (and the bloody cracked open skull when you lost) gave me nightmares. EDIT: Googled to find out you actually reviewed FROCKS.EXE. omfg.
For some reason your voice here, especially during the Pyramid game, reminds me of the announcer on game shows who reads off why the prize they're showing you on-stage and on-screen is amazing. Not a bad thing!
Rodent's revenge! I had completely forgotten about that game! I used to play that all the time when I was a kid! I also remember my mom being obsessed with Chips Challenge, she even had a notebook with guides on how to beat every puzzle.
My old Gateway Windows 98 came with a set of game discs. Included were; The Neverhood, Close Combat: A Bridge Too Far, either Flight Simulator '95 or '98, and (I believe) Age of Empires along with others' I can't remember (this was almost 20 years ago for me). Those games that the Gateway Windows 98 came with at that time practically made up my PC Gaming childhood starting from when I was like 4-5 years old. All the titles I didn't forget were made by Microsoft Studio and came packed with the Gateway Windows 98. I don't know why, but I guess "Microsoft Entertainment Pack" reminded me of the set of games/discs that came with the first Windows PC I really got to use. Could you possibly do a video if you ever come across any of these OEM PC software/game disc sets, or just any of the games/series' I mentioned above?
looking at this reminds me of the other pack we had on our old computer. aside from BOWEP, we got a Bicycle card game pack. initially, it has just poker, solitaire, cribbage, and i think blackjack. but when you open solitaire, it has a game mode menu where you can pick from around 40 different single player card games, ranging from standard klondike to 40 thieves, spider, and so forth. back when my mom was around, i remember searching all over the internet for a modern take on that concept for having a 40-in-1 solitaire program, but those were rare at the time
This brings back a lot of memories of the 90s for me Also, if TetraVex was part of the BEST of the Windows Entertainment Pack, then I dread to think what the games which didn't make it are like
I had forgotten these games existed. I played it on my cousins computer when i was like 5 and had no idea what they were from. Now 15 years later the mystery is solved.
I completely forgot about this crap. Mostly I remember it as something that brought my friend to tears when his dad installed Windows on the family PC and made it auto-load so my friend thought DOS is gone for good, together with all the wonderful games, and all he got left was this Windows "Entertainment" crap. The day we figured out how to get back to DOS (no Google to ask then, boys and girls) was I think one of the best days in his life.
I played Chip's Challenge, Rodent's Revenge, Jezzball, and Pipe Dream. And probably Tetris too. My aunt and uncle had a computer at the time and I played these constantly, along with King's Quest VI and Police Quest 1-4 combo disc. Friggin love these goofy games. ^_^
Fun fact about Freecell, it was also bundled with Win32s for Windows 3.1 which I imagine came with a few programs here and there. Westwood's Monopoly comes with the WinG API and the Win32s runtime, both of which you could install after installing the game. And the Win32s came with Freecell.
I miss the time when games were simple but infinitely entertaining. Nowadays we have all these complex, demanding games, but they're all so shallow and the replay value is minimal. :'(
i remembered playing Jezzball when i was really really young. boy, watching it again in this video gives me incredible nostalgia-gasm.... or whatever you call it.
Oh, yes, Taipei, Tetravex, Pipedream and most importantly JezzBall bring back good memories! We didn't have them at home, but I came across them on a computer on a sort-of summer camp. Didn't know they were from the Windows Entertainment Pack. We did have 'The puzzle collection' though, which was also from Microsoft.
KID PIX, KID PIX! COME ON AND PLAY WITH KID PIX!!!!!!! Sorry... It's ingrained into the deepest parts of my brain at this point. (It's the theme from deluxe 3 and 4.)
The funny thing about Microsoft Tetris is that it's manual actually recommended *against* getting Tetrises. I guess it was made before that became the meta.

the nostalgia-gasm hitting the nail on the head. 1995. Packard bell. entertainment packs. shareware. skifree. this is my favorite LGR video.
Uhm, I know it's kinda late, but I think you messed up
Emkill what
CDs with a weird collection of free- and shareware - hours of fun just discovering what is on there.

"Why were you watching someone on the toilet"
I have a better question. Why is someone using a computer on the toilet
Smart phones. I imagine some people bring their phone and earphones into the toilet
taking your laptop to the bathroom when you're having to take a big big shit is not that bad.
Maybe someone converted a toilet into an office chair I mean I did that once and gave it to my cousin as a gag gift
***** A windows 98 smartphone?
Emulate 98 on a modern phone it would probably be fun.

J Allen FeelsBadMan
Bummer.
So it got shared around the school, and had a virus when it was your turn with it? So, that floppy was basically the class slut, then?
@@CyberLink70 Wrong. Kids and virii go together.
I remember Jezzball. My co-worker and I used to play that on our computers at work until the boss saw what was going on and uninstalled all the games on all the computers.
We never liked him even before that incident.
I promise that I did not nostalgiagasm all over myself.
The screen, however...
i love that due to removed accounts - it looks like someone is talking to himself.
love the channel btw and rewatch stuff all the time

This. I grew up with this! Those are amongst my first memorys. When my dad let me sit on his lap and showed me this magical thing called "Computer"
I GOT THE UNSOLVABLE FREECELL GAME ONCE. I HAVE SURVIVED.
I ALSO GOT IT BUT I DID NOT SURVIVE.
I remember watching stevethemeave45's video of these games being played on Windows XP back in 2010. They are really cool! Nice job!

I just had minesweeper. Also, no PCs in the bathroom.
Chips challenge is pure childhood!
144 levels + 5 bonus ones.
16th password is SKKK, 144th is TONY. Never forget.
Yes! My mom had a Gateway 2000 when I was 3 or 4, I had the best time playing SkiFree and Chips Challenge on it. And I was obsessed with Paint. We still have my mom’s old Gateway, so maybe I’ll have to boot it up and see what’s on it from my childhood.
Protip: press F to outrun the yeti in SkiFree. (Really. There's a second yeti that you can't outrun though.)
This episode of LGR really tickles my fancy. Do more on games around that same era and I'll die happy.
I remember visiting my grandparents as a child and playing these games. Thanks for the nostalgia!
ski free!! I could never escape from that f***ing monster!!!!
You should review Microsoft 3D Movie Maker!
My goodness the memories. Chip's Challenge was my absolute favorite.
You jogged my memory of Jezzball! I played a number of these games when I was a teenager alongside listening to whatever the 90s precursor to emo music was and alternated with Sim City 2000 and as soon as I saw the game the suppressed memories came flooding back.

Went and found a link somewhere and now I'm hooked on Jezzball again. Thanks a lot dude.
Your game reviews are so fun. You are fantastic!

Oh ok. I've been a sub for a few months now, and I got to say you're one of the more interesting reviewers.
If my memory serves me well, I only managed to win Tut's Tomb a single time, no matter how many times I tried... excellent review BTW
Rodent's Revenge was my favorite too, I remember that and SkiFree the most.
I remember those! I also had Fuji Golf, Rattler Race, JigSawed, IdleWild, WordZap...so many memories from the 90s!
I remember always playing Herman and the Falling Rocks.
The death music and his disturbing clown face (and the bloody cracked open skull when you lost) gave me nightmares.

I heard you talk about chips challenge a bunch of times for a good while now ;) it's fun to know so much more!
Ahhh the nostalgia. I remember mostly playing Rodent's Revenge, Chip's Challenge, Jezz Ball, and Ski Free. Alot of fun stuff in the pack.
I played soo much Rodents Revenge as a kid. xD
149 levels in Chip’s challenge?? That’s incredible. Remember I played no more than 20 then got stuck when I was 7. Great video!
Oh god i do remember those games.
Chip's Challenge was absolutely awesome. Sadly it doesn't seem to work on Win7.
Trifon Trifonov my sister was amazing at that game when we were growing up. Was so jealous haha.
classicreload.com/win3x-windows-chips-challenge.html I got you, fam
You can emulate the whole Windows 3.11 in special DosBox bundle together with MEP1-4 installed on it. Voila!
I believe you can launch it:
1) via VM emulation, like VirtualBox, of a Windows 95 machine.
2) on a 32-bit Windows XP machine.
A Better Eay To Do It Is to Use OTVDM Which Can Emulate 16-Bit Games From Windows 3.1 Which Chips Adventure Was Made For
omg, i loved chips challenge!! especially when you pushed chipped against the wall he couldn't go the sound effects "usgh usgh" hahah
I nostalgiagasmed.
"That really really sucks, I'm sorry that you're dead."

NOSTALGIAGASM! I WAS LIKE 5-8 when I played these.
2:26 bruh, you unlocked a childhood memory I didn't know I had. 😂
Rodent's revenge! I had completely forgotten about that game! I used to play that all the time when I was a kid! I also remember my mom being obsessed with Chips Challenge, she even had a notebook with guides on how to beat every puzzle.

It wasn't considered in the best of Microsoft. Its in one of the individual packages.
holy crap rodent revenge was a game I used to play at my uncles house! thank you so much for reminding me the name of this obscure/obsolete game
Congrats for making 256 videos! You have hit a new level :)

I thought of it too. I haven't seen much of the anime, and I haven't read the manga, but I do know of the character.

I remember and still play chips challenge on my windows 7 system. sooo many hours gone by playing that game. good memories
When i was 6, back in 1995, my dad bought a computer with windows for workgroups and it had this pack so i played them like a maniac!
Quadruple Booty Action is my favorite classic DOS/Windows game. Highly underrated.
I didn't play many of these back in the day, but I distinctly remember Pipe Dreams.
Oh, yes, Taipei, Tetravex, Pipedream and most importantly JezzBall bring back good memories! We didn't have them at home, but I came across them on a computer on a sort-of summer camp. Didn't know they were from the Windows Entertainment Pack.

I nostalgia-gasm'd when I saw that photo of a Packard Bell! My first PC!
Thank you for taking me down memory lane..!! I totally loved playing skifree way back then. :D
Some of these games could be made in gamemaker.

The first screen whit all the games was just FUCKING AWESOME man. So many memorys coming back. Love all your videos keep up the good work.
YES YES YES!. Man I loved Rodents Revenge and Skifree. Windows 95 changed my life.
