I haven’t seen a community dedicated to Windows 9x yet, so I decided to make it myself.
Nostalgia is a helluva drug. It’s not just about the OS, but also the retro games that were made for it. And the hardware for retro collectors. I just noticed trying to find games to post on the DOS Gaming community that many of the retro games I loved as a kid were made for Win9x. So I made the community to post more of my personal nostalgia.
Why?
Honest question.
People still actually use those versions?
Retro computing is a really popular hobby. There’s a Mastodon client for DOS, for instance.
Also there’s !dosgaming@retrolemmy.com ;)

Yep, once a year I’ll get the itch to play Sim Tower and will end up spending hours in it.
