Damn, would have killed to have one of these back in the 90’s…
This was an April Fools video but still… I have to love the effort put into the whole thing.,especially that wind… god damn.
Pranks
Got to properly celebrate April Fools after all
Today I celebrated pulling a prank on my co-workers by bringing in a USB key with DOSBox running Windows 3.11 running in fullscreen mode, in an attempt to freak out some of my younger co-workers. 😛 I left it plugged in since I do have to head back in tomorrow, but damn… I wish I could be there to see the looks on their faces when they try to find the start menu. 😛
Those of us who did use the older Windows actually had a good laugh at the old After Dark screensavers I had running. Every time we were near the system we’d change it from one to another. Flying Toasters, DOS Shell, Bad Dog, and Rat Race were favorites. Especially Rat Race, we set the rats to be as stupid as possible to make the race last a super long time. Here’s a short video that has all kinds of After Dark screensavers. Quite a few I never even saw before!
I hear you can get 4.0 to run on Windows 7 with a little bit of hacking… might have to look into that.
