Found this last night, it's the creator of the classic Windows SkiFree game. Works great in Windows 7, 8 (and presumably 10).

Pretty awesome to maximize it and have a huge 1920x1080 field to play on.

After you get to the scoreboard. ...Of if you keep going up at the start of the slope.

Though if you press F, you'll go faster and outrun it.

Cool. I just found out a few days ago that the Edge browser offline game (like the dinosaur game for Chrome) is a surfing game that seems to be a spiritual successor.

I legit didn't know about this until a few years ago and my mind was blown.

Ok so I'm pressing F but it doesn't always work?

Maybe I outrun the first yeti, but the second one gets me.

I must figure this out.

The first time I played that game I was like 5 and that monster nearly gave me a heart attack the first time I saw it. I was scared to even click the game again for like a year after that, I was always careful to not accidentally click it and play Solitaire or chips challenge or something instead.

I'm going hard into these games.

Why the fuck is Chip's Challenge so hard? Got frustrated at level 19, even though I know I can beat it. Something strangely addicting about free windows games.

On a side note I also go Microsoft Golf 1.0 to work in Windows 3.1 running in DosBox.

He acknowledges this on the website. He writes:

ANTIVIRUS WARNINGS
I am told that some malware scanners are reporting these EXE files as "infected" or "malware". I am 99.99999% sure this is a false positive, but I of course I can't prove anything, and the companies that produce the malware scanners have not responded to my inquiries.
The 16-bit EXE is the original one published by Microsoft in 1991. The 32-bit EXEs were compiled by me on a reasonably secure Windows NT machine in 2005, and never set off any warnings until very recently. I have confirmed against old backups that the files have not been modified.
For the sake of utter thoroughness, I have installed a fresh copy of Windows 2000 and Visual Studio 6.0 from original Microsoft CDs on a blank computer not connected to any network, loaded the SkiFree source code by floppy disk, and recompiled. The new EXE file is here: ski32rebuildvs6.exe
And I've also recompiled with Visual Studio 2019 (downloaded from Microsoft) on a Windows 7 machine: ski32rebuildvs2019.exe
Please let me know if these newly rebuilt EXEs are (or are not) setting off malware scanners. I think I can pretty well guarantee that the VS6 one is clean!

I think you are getting the trojan warning because he has an .exe file to download (in case the .zip file doesnt work on a computer). I mean, this guy isn't even hiding his real name or anything, worked for Microsoft in the 90s, etc.

If you want to just download the file, the URL is just
