[CrashManEXE]

@teortega93 - That's "Axel F" by Clock, as said in the description.

[teortega93]

@CrashManEXE Thanks!!! =D

[teortega93]

I was 1 or 2 years old =P

[Siknik64]

I don't get why is says "Microsoft Internet Explorer" on the bootscreen. O_o

[Blaketoberfest]

@Siknik64 Probably a marketing thing since it was a new feature at the time.

[CrashManEXE]

@windows7use - The quality of the video isn't that bad, and I don't use Windows 7. To me it's full of gimmicks.

[MasterOfMonopoly]

try doom 95 

[CrashManEXE]

@MasterOfMonopoly - No thanks. I wasn't interested in the Doom games.

[Dell0304]

can you send me the iso download link?

[CrashManEXE]

Sorry, I can't. I couldn't even find the ISO file and all I can find is the Win95 harddrive, which you can find pretty easily here.

[NicholasGalvan]

I was born two years later and in 2000 i tried this at my grandpas house.

[shigeyuki9]

damn is fast

[IAMONDAILYMOTIONNOW]

You should start doing DOS Gameplay Videos & Start with Good 'ol Doom. As For The Video, pretty interesting.

[CrashManEXE]

Nah. I couldn't get DosBox working the last time I used it.

[dedeschwede]

i played civilization & quake I on it!

[Avesfox]

old AOL startup window....

*melts into his childhood memories**

[Halibut]

I love this "Exploring" series. Keep it up, CMan!

[GPSC998]

mine came with AOL 2.5 not 3.0, and the internet explorer version I can't remember for sure but I remember IE 4.0 didn't come out until I had the system for a while

[Akutare]

I first used a Win 95 baci in school.  I owned a 98.

[mystapler]

Did you install Win95 on the same computer that you have your current Windows installation on? Are you doing a multi-boot?

[CrashManEXE]

No. I "installed" it separately, and this is a Virtual Machine remember.

[CommanderMario]

I grew up on 2000 since I was born in 96 and didn't learn how to operate a computer until 3rd grade

[bikegirl2]

i remember when this was new!

[dandadecep]

0:32 - PURE NOSTALGIA!!!

[freako1234]

My very OS =).

I must have been three when my dad got us one of these bad boys! I loved it =P

[Quadunit404]

I would install Opera on that thing, since that's the only thing available that still supports Windows 95.

The earliest Windows that IE6 ran on was NT 4.0, which came out a year after this.

[sonicfan966]

THIS is the old Windows I remember, Good ol' 95 back in the day.

[Miss6Nintendo]

I still have one

[schoolfilmer]

Ahh... My first OS...

So nostalgic!

[BanjoSonic]

There was another "credits" easter egg in Windows 95 that was activated via the help system. I can't remember what you had to input, but I do know it involves "The shadow knows!".

[AirPhforce]

AOL is looking for a modem.

Ya know, those things that dialed out on your phone.

[CrashManEXE]

I know what a modem is. I had one when I was with AOL years ago.

[AirPhforce]

The first modem I had required me to place a phone receiver on the thing. We had to buy another phone because ours didn't fit.

[wiiboy999]

wat happens if you put system 32 in the recycle bin?

[CrashManEXE]

It would screw up the operating system, of course.

[SkieLuluMUGEN]

Oh wow, Windows 95. Now this brings back memories. This is what I used to have a looong time ago before we switched to XP. I loved it. :D Looking back on it now, I can obviously see how ancient it is compared to now, but it's nice to remember how awesome it was then.

Also, I love how you tried to browse the "modern" internet on this fossilized software. :P

[CrashManEXE]

Should've said this earlier but... you mean you had Win95 first, then XP? =\

[SkieLuluMUGEN]

I'm sorry, Crash. I never got a chance to tell you what I specifically had the last time I mentioned my computers.

Well, truth be told I did have a 95 before we switched to XP. I believe the 95 had gone to my grandfather, but since he never used computers it pretty much turned into a dust-collector. A shame, really. I would have taken it back. :P

[MadraDot]

clouds.mid!!! :D
