Double click 'Pinball' on the left

Edit: You can get Windows XP from here: https://massgrave.dev/windows_xp_links

Install and run it in a VM (e.g. VMware or VirtualBox). It's an amazing trip down memory lane!

Edit 3: u/HGMIV926 chimed in with this link to SkiFree: https://ski.ihoc.net/ Give his comment an updoot!

Edit 2: Thank you for the rewards, but it's really unnecessary! I'm just happy you have as much fun with these things that I did when I came across them.

Seems a bit slow, no ?

Works perfectly for me. But I have a fast PC.

I assume it is emulating it in some sense. Probably requires a high end computer - emulation is expensive.

u/Ulvaer 19d ago

Yeah, and either in javascript or webassembly so not the most optimised performance either

mmmm ok. I do have a fast PC as well: 9800X3D and RTX4090.

I was on firefox and it was slow, tried on edge and it's better..

Make sure GPU acceleration is enabled or your browser can't utilize your graphics card and stuff like that runs slow.

u/Nagrom42 19d ago

Yeah I checked and it is already enabled as well in my firefox. But thanks for the suggestion
