In a way, I preferred the DOS version of Chip's Challenge over the Windows one. Slightly less pretty graphics (in a way), but far more animated.
And I liked the freaky water. |

It's so funny to see (now outdated) technologies be so expensive in the past, but you probably could purchase them for $40 today. Back then, PCs were a novel technology and electronics were more expensive than they are now.
We threw out all of our old computers... I had one of these, and I'm sad that I let my parents throw it out.  None of my other old computers are gone though, just that one.
We also have a PC Jr. laying around here somewhere. (Or at least, we used to have one) However, I still do have my commodore 128 (which I only have commodore 64 games for  )
Is that Windows 2.0 on the screen?  ____________________  |

Chip's Challenge is fun, I liked that game 
My favourite WEP games are probably Taipei (Mahjong solitaire), Chip's Challenge, and JezzBall  |

I got bored of Chip's Challenge actually. My grandma used to play Taipei and I played it a little too.
Drag: I think that's actually Windows 1.0. 2.0 is mostly blue, 1.0 is the ugly one  |

I never had those entertainment packs...apparently they came with computers from normal companies like Dell, but my parents always bought computers from these weird local upstarts that probably consisted of one 15-year-old making 10 computers a year and didn't bother putting anything on them other than an OS. |

Actually, I think that's 3.0. It looks strikingly familiar to it.
Windows 2.0 was dubbed Windows/286. 3.0 for a 386? Possibility. |

Well, This is Windows 1.0 and this is Windows 3.0. It definitely looks like the uglier one...wow, look at how awful Windows used to be! |

That title bar definitely looks like 1.x or 2.x to me.
Windows 286 was really 2.1, and there was also a Windows 386, which was another version of 2.1. |

Beh, KDE looks much cuter than XP's crappy Luna scheme or Vista's resource-hungry Aero scheme
I still use the 9x/2K classic scheme on my Windows XP, although I'm not on it very much anymore, thanks to Kubuntu |

KDE owns. I know a lot of people will disagree, but the X11-based GUIs work a lot better than anything Microsoft will come up with. |

Posted by Katelyn But this isn't XP OR Vista, and it's not resource-hungry at all...but it IS crappy, I guess. |
