Old Windows Games

Sup Steem Punks and Steem Princesses!


Everybody had Solitaire/Minesweeper on their computers but if you were lucky you had some of these gems!

Whether it's barely in your memory or you bought some of these with intent, there were some really awesome games to play within the Microsoft Entertainment Pack or that came with windows computers. I had such a blast going over this list of games just for the pure nostalgia that I had to share it with you guys! It's straight from the 90s and you might remember some of these! Check it out!

1.SkiFree:

This is a fucking beautiful game. One that I remember giving me tons of play time. It is simply just a game where you control a dude who skis down a hill. Avoid rocks and trees while make sick jumps and BOOM! That is the game haha. Once you reach the bottom of the hill a monster would eat you. My friends and I tried our hardest to avoid that damn monster. We tried EVERYTHING.
Luckily you can play Skiifree online for free right now ... which is pretty badass... Check it out:

2.JezzBall

The game of Jezzball is simple. Two balls are bouncing around a room. The player is to click to create walls and trap these balls. The walls must be created before a ball hits the wall. This sounds dumb and not fun at all. BUT ITS FUCKING AMAZING AND ADDICTING. This is a must play. You have to check it out....somehow....but how? It is your lucky day! You can play jezzball online right now here:

3.Pipedream

Actually many versions of Pipedream were released throughout the years and its really not that rare of a game to see. It is an old puzzle game where you had to put pieces of pipe together before the green liquid pumps through the pipes. Definitely another addicting game and was probably the first puzzle game I ever played. Its quite simple, much like Jezzball, and quite addicted....also like jezzball.Luckily you can snag some of that addiction online with the Windows 3.1 Version Emulated on this site:

This is the lucas arts version. The classic that I remember. Give it a play.

4.Chips Challenge.

This is definitely a great memory from my childhood. Ol Chips Challenge is back! This is the first "Adventure" puzzle game that I played even before Zelda came along. This was the pinnacle of the Windows Entertainment Pack, in my opinion of course. You play as chip and you have to run through a world and grab some computer chips(puns hah) and keys to unlock doors and progress through levels. Each level gives you a progressively more difficult puzzle and they introduce weapons and enemies later on in the game. Luckily you can also play this one online here:

Chips Challenge is truthfully a challenge to beat. It will put your noggin to the test.

I hope I could inject you with some nostalgia in this post, because it certainly gave me some good feels. In fact funny enough, I am going to go play a few of these games over again right now haha. You should too! Let me know in the comments if you loved any of these games or other on the Microsoft Entertainment Pack. Anybody else remember playing Pinbal? ;)

Oh man skifree and jizz ball were total classics! Those Windows Entertainment Pack games sure aged well!

Agreed. I am super glad you can easily play them online. Still super addicting.
