A #GitHub repository for Windows 3.1 tiled backgrounds, because apparently someone thought the world needed a "vintage" .bmp museum. 🤦♂️ Surely nothing screams cutting-edge #tech like an archive of 30-year-old #wallpapers, right? 🚀🔍

Yesterday I noticed a license plate with the letters PIF, and that got me thinking about Program Information Files, which were used in Windows 3 and 3.1 to hold information about DOS mode programs. You could specify the video mode or any command-line arguments. I remember reading that they originated in OS/2 and were carried over to Windows.
I will never, ever use any of this information ever again. Why does it come to mind so readily when I cannot remember for the life of me the names of my daughter’s friends and their parents?!

Oh geez, I'd forgotten about Hot Dog Stand in #Windows31. I guess there are only so many color schemes you can create with 16 colors before things get garish.

Any Windows for Workgroups 3.11 experts in the audience?
If my network cable is unplugged I get "EMM386 has detected error #06 in an application at memory address 00B8:1460" and Windows won't start. Ethernet card is a Realtek NE2000-type PnP ISA card.
Anyone know of a fix? Other than keeping a second system.ini with networking turned off?

SkiFree was part of one of the Microsoft Entertainment Pack releases for Windows 3.1, part of their limited gaming output before the went in on Xbox.

Fun stuff: Windows 3.x allowed using bitmaps as menu items.
I think it's not possible in Visual Basic but available to native apps written in C/C++.

I see Castle of the Winds on there. A fantastic old Rogue-like game that you should absolutely play. The author later gave the game away completely for free, though their website no longer exists, but it's still available via the Wayback Machine.

(As for playing it, Archive.org does have it set up in an emulator to play in-browser: https://archive.org/details/CastleoftheWinds_1020)

Hello #Fediverse, here’s today’s daily OS-tan!
This is Windows 3.1-tan, also known as Ōbaba-sama (大婆様), a personification of Windows 3.1! She’s a quiet and graceful character often depicted in a long, frilly violet gown with a 3.1 brooch on her collar.
Ōbaba has a unique connection to DOS Kitty, her inseparable companion who represents DOS. This relationship reflects Windows 3.x’s reliance on DOS. In some depictions, DOS Kitty is portrayed as a black cat, while in others, she’s a small catgirl nurse.
In the OS-tan family, Ōbaba is considered the younger sister of Oichi (Windows 1.0-tan) and the older sister of NT-Mama. She’s also often seen as Windows 95-tan's mother.
Originally, Ōbaba did not exist as a character and Windows 3.1 was portrayed as a box similar to what Windows 98 and 98SE-tan have but more recent depictions prefer the human design by ＥＧ３３. Her manner of speaking is often ending sentences with "ja". Despite being retired, she’s depicted tending a family shrine or occasionally donning military uniforms, suggesting a proactive role in the "OS Wars."
Ōbaba’s design debuted in 2004.

I already was several years into my baptised-and-sanctified use of the Mac when I first encountered #Windows31 at a post-college job in late 1992 and 1993. Windows seemed mediocre at best, but the Hot Dog Stand theme was bonkers. I literally did not understand it.

“And then you get to [#Windows31’s] ‘Hot Dog Stand.’ Which is utterly insane. And that makes it quite possibly the greatest color scheme ever devised.” Spinning a deep cut from the legendary @codinghorror. https://blog.codinghorror.com/a-tribute-to-the-windows-31-hot-dog-stand-color-scheme/

I kinda just tend to assume that everyone has a copy of VirtualBox, #pcem, and a multi-TB stash of ISOs from winworldpc.com on their NAS... but I'm occasionally reminded that this is not the case. If this is not you, but you need access to real #WindowsNT or #Windows95 or #Windows31 for an experiment or two, consider this a reminder that https://copy.sh/v86/ exists. #RetroComputing #VintageComputing

This Game Boy Cartridge puts a Windows 3.1 clone on your handheld (Minesweeper and Paint clones included)
GBS Windows is what happens when retro computing and retro gaming collide. Developer RubenRetro has created a Windows 3.1 clone for the Game Boy Color, complete with Minesweeper and MS Paint clones, as well as a few other apps including a media player.
Perhaps the weirdest/coolest thing about GB Windows? It’s sold as an actual Game Boy cartridge that you can insert into a Game Boy Color or […]
