Windows: Into The Past

About 

Immerse yourself in the world of a deprecated and glitch-ridden operating system, inspired by Windows 95 and Windows XP, as you tackle the challenges of “Windows: Into The Past”. Explore a collection of mini-games that pay homage to the quirks and bugs of a bygone era, each offering a unique challenge that will test your skills and patience. From navigating through error pop-ups in "Crash Course” to keeping a glitchy screensaver within the boundaries in “Screen Saver”, prepare for a journey through a virtual realm where malfunction meets entertainment. Embrace the retro aesthetics and unpredictable gameplay as you navigate the complexities of an old computer system on the verge of collapse.
