Do you guys remember the win95 mini game hover!

It showed off all of the super-awesome multimedia capabilities that win95 has, like 256 colors.

I downloaded it and played it a bit the other day. Super classic.

I remember playing Hover on the New Win95 machines at Costco years ago. Didn't that game come with win95? Those were the days. Also, anyone remember a game called Terminal Velocity and Fury3? They were out around the same time and I loved playing those too.

I always wanted to find the full version of Terminal Velocity, but I lived an hour from the nearest best buy, I was broke, and I didn't even know the internet existed at that point.

I had Hover on Win 95, back then I thought it was pretty cool - definitely not as fun as Descent, though. I had Fury3 as well, great game!

I played Terminal Velocity. It wasn't that good compared to Descent or even (god forbid) Forsaken.

Back in the day, when I was a PC repair tech, I used to use Hover as a quick and dirty way to test computers - run it from the Win95 CD, you test the CDROM drive, audio, video, etc. That, and I would play the Weezer video of Buddy Holly that was also on the Win95 CD :)

Man, I don't even know how many hours I sank into Hover as a kid. Really fun game. I have the folder for it that I copied off our old Win95 CD lying around here somewhere. I always thought that the MIDI music sounded remarkably like something straight out of Descent.

(Ha, I totally remember that Weezer video too. :D)

I played Hover so much as a little kid (it was very mesmerizing 8)). The MIDI music really impressed me... I've still got the songs in my head to this day.
