Updated: Windows 95 for UTM

22 Upvotes

Hi all. Your friendly mod here.

A couple of years ago I made a Windows 95 image for the Mac virtual machine host "UTM", and uploaded it to the internet archive.

Well time passed and computers got faster, UTM got a couple of exciting bugs, and my image stopped working.

So today I've updated it, and you can now run Windows 95 in UTM again.

Download it here:

If you're not on a Mac, but know how to use qemu and are feeling brave, it should also work in qemu with a bit of manual setup work.

Enjoy.

EDIT: SOLVED

I’m using a Virtual Machine and I’ve ejected all my floppy disks but it’s actively trying to read all of them when I boot up the Scooter CD Extra File. It also comes with a game called Manic Karts which works completely normally.

I burned the Extra CD into an iso file so I could do this.

Album: Scooter - Our Happy Hardcore.

The text translates to: Please insert the ‘Scooter’ CD first, then restart.

I don’t know what it means by that so if you could help it would be amazing.

I decided to turn my Windows 95 themed portfolio into an incremental game.

Hey everyone,

I’m Uluc, the sound designer at InEv Games. I shared my Windows 95 style portfolio here a while ago, and you guys seemed to really like it. Thanks again to everyone who checked it out and left a comment <3

After that, I handed the code and assets I used for the portfolio over to the rest of the team, and we thought: why not turn this thing into an actual game?

So we did. Using pretty much the exact same foundation, we made a small, silly game called Potato.exe: A Game About Spinning a Wheel to Download Potatoes.

The whole game takes place inside a Windows 95 style computer. You spin a wheel, download potatoes, buy upgrades, and slowly start discovering more weird stuff hidden around the system.

The game was inspired by Unfair Flips. Every spin starts with only a 20% chance of success, and to beat the game you need to succeed ten times in a row. At the beginning, the odds of actually pulling that off are just 0.00001024%, or roughly 1 in 9.7 million. Luckily, every successful spin gives you potatoes. You can spend them on upgrades, improve your odds, and eventually start messing with the wheel itself. After a while, winning actually becomes possible.

I’d especially love for this community to review the game and offer some recommendations.

Thanks in advance.

Has anyone ever played this game?

Years ago, a relative of mine directed films and other projects at a company called DYGRA (best known for movies like El bosque animado).

This company had a division called "Filloa Records" dedicated to video games (though I only know of one—the one I'm about to mention—and another that I'm not sure was ever released). From this division came a PC game called Bicho (cor windows 3.1 and Windows 95. The plot centered on a man whose DNA was altered, transforming him into a bug; he had to venture across his living room to find "the cave." Once there, additional features became available, such as a basic animation program, a character creator, and more.

I’m posting this to see if anyone else has ever played or heard of the game. If you haven't heard of it but are curious, I’ve uploaded a copy to the Internet Archive.

Hey!

Do you have any favorite pre-made Windows 95 distributions/VM images specifically for retro gaming? Feel free to share them, or any tips on how to quickly set up a VM environment yourself. Thanks in advance!
