I have spent some time examining it . . . and was drawn to the "Cat Explorer".  :D

Quite clearly a lot of work has gone into it.

Someone has spent an awful lot of time developing that.  Its brilliant and everything works.   I sat there and played a game of 'solitude', played with cat explorer, even  Paint works. 
I laughed at several of the 'programs' got caught out and frustrated by Hydra.exe  :lol:..  then blew it all away with "Totally not a virus"

Very very clever..  that has got to be find of the month  ;D

Great fun, isn't it? ;D

I've just noticed, there's an episode of Star Wars in ASCII graphics.

I'm very late to this, but that is amazing, thank you.  It's weird.

Also : it's currently got a snow theme for Christmas!

I think (vague memory of this) that what eventually became Windows 95 was due to be released around 1993, but instead a stop-gap Windows 3.11, which included some of the 32 bit technology being developed for '95.  Which gives it an extra minor-layer of fun.
