I am pretty sure Minesweeper was on Game Boy. And there are various versions of other games on various platforms as well.
Many of these games are on other platforms.
Microsoft included Minesweeper and Solitaire in the early versions of Windows to teach users how to use a GUI interface. Minesweeper to teach differential of left and right click, and solitaire to teach users how to drag and drop. Neither were previously needed for most users.
Modern windows solitaire has adds snd levels and stuff. I mean come on, give me a break. And minesweeper isn’t preinstalled. You need admin rights and I don’t have them on my work laptop which is the only windows computer I use
Where’s Skifree?
Eaten by a Yeti
SuperTux, SuperTuxKart, 0 A.D, Xonotic, Sonic RoboBlast…
SuperTuxKart works on Switch!
I don’t like that Windows 7 is old enough to unironically be called a classic.
Windows 7 is 16 years old.
Classic cars are at least 20 years old but not older than 45 years…
It’s nearly there
I mean in software terms it’s ancient. It’s also the last mainstream OS which was popular before phones became the defacto target device of choice for every new software application.
What are those older than 45 years?
Oldtimers I guess
Maybe vintage?
Pinball?
There is a ported version for 3DS, lol.
Pinball was ported, I can install from the aur now.
It says “PC exclusive” not " Windows exclusive". Linux PCs are still PCs.
Don’t forget Haiku.
Wait, whaaaat!!
I won’t mind a Balatro mod/remaster that make it look like Solitaire on Windows 7
Space Cadet?
right? and what in the fuck is purble place?
A fever dream.
TBH I’d forgotten this game existed till it was brought up in another thread a long while back. I probably only played like an hour of it out of curiosity, but yeah Space Cadet was my jam. This YouTuber has a pretty interesting vid on the game Purble Place.
Came here to say, if it’s not including Space Cadet it’s trash
Relive the dream:
https://alula.github.io/SpaceCadetPinball/These are vista games, these icons are the pinnacle of frutiger aero, space cadet was xp only.
It’s available as a Flatpak, lol.
Shit goes dumb hard too. Got my highest score ever a few months back and I used to play this all the time as a kid
SkiFree? TriPeaks? Klotski?
Nethack not included?
A crime they were replaced by hot garbage
You forgot about Hover! which was bundled with Windows 95.
Oh, only on cd edition. No wonder I don’t know it. We bought our Windows 95 on 26 floppies.
Chips challenge on win98 was awesome as a kid.
It’s on Steam!
chip’s challenge is iconic
Yes! Ahem, as a kid. Yes.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chip's_Challenge
But not exclusive to windows.
Looks like the autolinking misses the
!at the end of your link: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hover!Wow I forgot about this entirely. I actually really liked it, even if I never played more than an hour at a time.
Don’t forget Nocturne for Windows 95. I wanna play this fucking game but it’s unplayable in WINE. I can’t imagine it works well on Windows 11 either.
You forgot the all time classic Dependency Resolution, and the psychological thriller “I fucked up my bootloader”.
Some one actually grew up on Vista? I thought that was a myth
besides the objectively best PC exclusive is super Tux.
