duke.edu— I just had to share this. Anyone who remembers this game will get excited. It was hidden on the Windows 95 disc. You drive around and collect flags.

Wow I remember this one. Can't actually believe that I forgot about it. Especially considering that my dad used our windows 95 machine until Summer 2003. (yes it worked fine OK, CD drive died way before that though...floppy was not doing well either) This was a great game I remember playing this for age and ages because it was free. I remember the one time it glitched and i went through one of the walls and ended up in an endless room with crazy colors. Good times!
This was a stupid story. Game wasn't hidden. It was meant to be a promo for Windows that failed miserably. I remember playing this 11 years ago in the beta and thinking it sucked then (imagine how much it sucks now!)No digg.
Definitely worth remember, this is the kind of "old" diggs that are worth it, not like the "everyone saw it 2 months ago" old diggs.About it being hidden though, not only was it not hidden on the CD, but you'd be hard pressed to find a Win95 computer for sale that didn't have it up and running as a demo. Not even hidden if you hadn't bought the CD yet...
i so remember that. i used to play with my dads computer when i was a kid. if it was an easter egg how come it was so easy to find? i was only like 7. maybe i was just a gifted little hacker. i also loved hover. omg. i found it today and im freaking out. i love the crappy 90s techno.
I love this game, when i was younger i found out that you could "explore" the cd, and found this and another demo where you are this little guy on a screwdriver, you go around "unscrewing" the screws to get them out and avoid getting hit by the "monsters" I cannot remember the name of it though. I have the disc around here somewhere... this has definitely made me want to play it again.

I remember playing this all the time a long time ago. I don't think it was hidden, or at least not hidden that well.
