I've been playing #Windows3 games lately and just played one called Titanic Adventure Out of Time. It's a point and click spy game involving time travel back to the #Titanic. With multiple endings and a unique #retro animation style, it's still a pretty interesting playthrough. | twitch.tv/grescokit

I recently played through a #Windows3 game called Stay Tooned! This was a point and click adventure published by #Sierra that was pretty strange, but overall really funny. The art was great, and the humor was all over the place. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #Twitch #RetroGaming #GraphicAdventure

Tonight I finished an old #Windows3 game called The Bizarre Adventures of Woodruff & the #Schnibble. Made by the same dev as the #Gobliiins series, it had odd humor and some tough puzzles. I got lost more than once, but overall it was a really fun time. | twitch.tv/grescokit | #RetroGaming #Twitch

今、この「パワーモデラー」を振り返ると、この時期のデジタル市場への介入は、少し先に行きすぎていた感は否めないような気がする。この時代は、まだ、Windows3.ｘ Dos の時代。PCが一般家庭に普及しているとは云いがたいものの、Windows OSがエンターテイメント市場へ拡大のきっかけになったOSであったことから、それに呼応するかのように・・ある意味、それを見越しての決断だったのかも、と考えたり。
そうそう、子供が産まれる直前頃「幼稚園の写真がCD-Romで配られたけど、どうすれば見られるのか？」という新聞記事を読んだのをきっかけに、大枚はたいてWin95を買った記憶が蘇ってきた。続

Hace unos días celebramos el 36 aniversario de la salida de Windows 3.0.

El primer gran éxito comercial de Microsoft y representó una revolución al incluir una interfaz gráfica de usuario totalmente renovada y multitarea, bajo un entorno por encima del MS-DOS.
