I recently rediscovered these Windows parody Flash games from the early 2000s. And there's a lot of puns contained within. So let's explore some of them!

@mndlessdrwer 3 жыл бұрын

The welcome dialogue is actually a parody of the one from Windows ME, which is a bit more intrusive in its attempts to tell you all the wonderful new features they crammed into their shiny new OS. Funnily enough, Windows ME is one of the only versions of Windows that I have only ever used pre-installed and haven't done the installation and initial config of myself. Lots of fun memories from high school IT classes of just sitting in the back of the classroom building PCs and making partitions on the hard drive to install windows onto before summarily upgrading them or reinstalling them.

Hey Micheal, long time viewer here. When I was 7 years old I discovered Windows RG on Newgrounds and I attempted to make an XP version called “Virus XP”. This video brings back so many memories because I literally spent months on that parody. I’m 20 now, but that parody is probably laying around somewhere on an old drive. Might dig it out, who knows ;) but yeah, so glad you managed to check these parodies out! Love your channel btw!

Did you know? The voice at 5:56 is by AT&T, with the voice name of Mike. Interestingly, Microsoft also had a voice named Mike, although it didn't come with Windows XP and was available as an optional download alongside Microsoft Mary in a merge module for the SAPI5 TTS Engine. However, Microsoft Mike is the first Microsoft voice to ever be introduced in the SAPI3 SDK of Windows, back then named Mark Lund (Not to be confused with Mark on Windows 10). So, despite Sam being a popular voice, Mike was the first. I get the feeling that AT&T Mike was also another one of those things to copy Microsoft, since their voice sounds human like when compared with Microsoft's at that time.
