Windows 93

French artist created Dream Windows with cats and Star Wars

Netizens under the nicknames Jankenpopp and Zombectro launched a website that simulates the non-existent Windows 93 operating system in a browser window.

Windows 93 greets the user with acidic colors and a bunch of icons, reminiscent of Windows 95 in style. Most of the elements on the site behave as if they were built into a real operating system.

In Windows 93, you can open multiple windows at once, switch between them, minimize them, and resize them. The user is only prohibited from dragging and renaming icons.

Windows 93 is designed to be tinkered with for hours. For example, a photograph of a cow eating garbage is hidden in a virtual trash bin, and on drive “C” you can even find the source files of games built into the operating system.

Most applications in Windows 93 actually work. For example, it has a full-fledged graphic editor, a voice synthesizer and a working browser called Cat Explorer, which by default opens the anonymous search engine DuckDuckGo.

In an unusual operating system, you can play solitaire or play the shooter Arena 93 - a simplified version of Doom, and the built-in reference to the legendary The Legend of Zelda series suggests taking with you not a sword, but brains or a hamster with a machine gun. The ASCII version of the fourth episode of Star Wars, which is played by clicking on the StarWars.avi icon, is also worth special mention.

Windows 93 also has its own virus called Hydra.exe (probably a reference to the meme of the same name ). By clicking on this icon, the user begins to be bombarded with pop-up windows, closing each of which generates two more new ones.

References on the site indicate that it is credited to French DJ and artist Jankenpopp. profile, His SoundCloud featuring a Windows 93 trash can, leads to his personal page , where he announces the release of his new EP along with a mini-game.

Jankenpopp's work is not limited to any specific areas, and he calls himself a “digital artist”: this concept includes music, video games, psychedelic videos and installations.
