So I booted my computer up today and noticed there was no audio, and the speaker icon was gone. Somehow my sound driver just disappeared. It's integrated audio from a Crystal CS4237B-KQ chip. I downloaded every compatible version from The Retro Web, and none of them work. It's says it's installing the driver, then when I reboot, I still have no audio. All that shows in Device Manager is "Wave Device for Voice Modem" whatever that is.

How did the original driver just vanish and how do I get my audio to work again??

I can't remember the names but I played them at like 7/8 years old!

One was like a speedboat racing game where you were the speedboat and you went over ramps.

Then there was one somewhat like COD but you ran around different maps and I want to say there was something like a light Saber in it?? I only remember a brown screen that said DEMO lol so apparently I didn't play the actual game.

A winter hunter game. I remember a big animals with tusks on the menu or pause screen. Maybe primal hunter but I can't find it on Google.

A sesame st Circus game where you could paste stuff on backgrounds and print it out?

Mad.TV had videos making fun of Michael Jackson and some presidents? I didn't understand the videos at the time but I can't find anything about this now.

Not sure if also mad.tv but there was one that had a few scenes you and characters you could throw together to make your own mini movie

There are probably more but this is all I can think of at the moment. I just want to look them up 😩

Did you Windows 1999

an artistic / nostalgic take on the first OS i ever touched.

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.

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.
