Anyone missing the old days of computer magic, WIN95 or OS8? Felix Rieseberg has made it possible to go there again on just about any machine you might be running. The Slack developer Rieseberg has wrapped them in a javascript Electron app so you can play with them on Windows, Mac or Linux. A full 1991 Macintosh Quadra with Mac OS 8.1 is yours for the download and includes several demos and goodies that were new in the day. Imagine being back on the Oregon Trail!

The Windows95 app came out a while back, it is there too. Life is fun again!
