Windows 95 OSR 2.5
Windows 95 offered, at long last, a well designed document-oriented desktop shell that worked much like the 1984 Macintosh Finder. It also included a new way of finding installed applications through a "Start" menu. And it included the same networking abilities as Windows for Workgroups.

I tried building a box based off what I remembered in the 90's that was capable of playing all the games we weren't supposed to be playing at school.. haha.. I just now remembered that we actually used Old Macs at school, Not Windows, (i had a windows machine at home) so I am trying to build an old mac box.. cause I want to play that dang wolfenstein game we would always get busted trying to install off the mario cd xD
If anyone else OLD has any Idea... There is an old windows game from the 90s my siblings and I would play, that was basically like a "story maker" or a video recording game, that came with many assets, like meowing cats, and you could use your microphone and just make the most obnoxious stories ever...
I cannot for the life of me find this game or remember the name, if anyone has any ideas...
I had thought it was a sierra game but I cannot find it in their listings online.
STORYBOOK WEAVER DELUXE I THINK IS WHAT IT WAS.
