This has got to be one of the first games that required Win95 and didn't run on DOS or Win3.1, probably the first 3D one cause I think the other bundled games were all 2D

It was included with CD-ROM editions of Win95, but idk if the floppy version came out first? Wikipedia suggests this game came out in the same month as Win95 with no exact date, so maybe they really did release the same day.

This game was my first experience with memory hacking.

Imma let you finish, but Windows 95's Best of Windows Entertainment Pack had some of the best Windows 95 games of all time.

Which games?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Off the top of my head, thinking of JezzBall, Pipe Dream, SkiFree, the one with the cats chasing the mouse...

But nothing beats Chip's Challenge imo. Hover is pretty dope tho. Someone should make a Hover! 2.

This comment just made me remember "fury3" a game I haven't been able to remember the name of in at least 20 years. Thanks!

Omg, Fury³ was so good. I too completely forgot about that one.

That is an awesome game

I loved this game.

It felt so advanced, with multiple levels and futuristic bumper cars.

I played it oh, a thousand times?

I remember multiplayer, but there must have been regular racing tracks, right?
