Skifree
Also all the other windows 95 games: Hover, Chip’s Challenge, pipedream, that one with the lion and the mouse.
Honorable mention to the maze screensaver.
ZombiFrancis, I also member the only reason I ever installed macOS emulators: Escape Velocity.
ObsidianZed, I had to do some digging because I didn’t remember the name but Jezzball was another of my favorites!

I member
ObsidianZed, I loved Chip’s Challenge and I think some where in a drawer is a notebook sheet with codes to almost all the levels.
FlaminGoku, Chips challenge was amazing.
LoamImprovement, Bummer.wav is burned into my brain because of that game.
cobra89, Just FYI, Chip’s challenge is available on Steam. They updated the graphics a bit though.

SpaceNoodle, … did not ship with Windows or any of its service packs.

You can play this in a browser now: basicallydan.github.io/skifree.js/
Audacious, Are these games available anywhere? I want to play skifree again.
NeroC_Bass, I gochu fam classicreload.com/win3x-skifree.html#
uhmbah,
tpihkal, I actually made it to the end of the maze screen saver.
purplemonkeymad, Are you thinking of rodent’s revenge for the last one? You had to box in the cats so they would turn to cheese.
Fubarberry, 
Yep that was it, somewhere I mixed up the cats with lions.
SpaceNoodle, Are you sure? I just tried compressing one of my cats, and he did not turn into cheese.
curiousaur, That’s the one I was thinking of.
American_Jesus,
Karyoplasma, Anyone remembers a game called “Glider”? The goal was to awkwardly steer a paper plane through rooms with obstacles. Not sure what platform that was on tho, I played it with a buddy as a kid.
4am, Glider was originally for Mac I believe but I think it had some ports
frunch, Loved glider! I liked that the guitar would strum when you went past it :)
What a fun game that was!

I remember playing that, but I never would have thought of it again if you hadn’t mentioned it.
BolexForSoup, 
Cagi, Hover was insane for a free game. That windows 95 CD had some good times.
Raiderkev,
getoffthedrugsdude, I freaking loved this game as a kid, ty for reminding me of it
SpaceNoodle, SkiFree, Chip’s Challenge, and Pipedream were Windows 3.1 games.
No clue what this lion and mouse game was supposed to be.
Fubarberry, They all had windows 95 versions, which is where I played them.
Looking it up, the lion and mouse game was Rodent’s Revenge
SpaceNoodle, I guess that game had some cat enemies …
Fubarberry, Right, I was misremembering the cats as lions.
SpaceNoodle, To be fair, lions are cats.
h3mlocke, Oh.
SpaceNoodle, But not all cats are lions.
captain_aggravated, 
IIRC Chip’s Challenge was an Atari Lynx game which was then ported to Windows.
