    well I actually know neither. I have very slight memories of it. I think I was using windows XP at the time. the game, as I remember, was a bit like those physical fidget games today, in that there was no story (or I didn’t understand it yet) or any kind of goals (that I could understand?). there were multiple different locations in the game, one of them us a kitchen similar to this one, but I’m not sure if I could regularly walk across them, or just click on doors or something to move to another location.
    given that I couldn’t yet read at the time (I think), I have no memories of its title or the desktop icon, or at least I wasn’t able to recall it in any degree for a long time.

    I expect that back then there were much fewer games released in a given timespan than today, but I don’t even know where could I see even a list of them that I could go through.

    edit: just checked mobygames, now I see this is a database like I mentioned. I’ll check this, thanks!

    edit 2: oh well, it requires a registration and a subscription to browse the games database…

      Wha, are you sure? I can search just fine and I don’t have an account there

          The game browser only tells me this: “Upgrade to MobyPlus to enable the new game browser (beta).” With the old game browser still being decent enough to find stuff.

          Maybe your privacy settings block something crucial? It’s my problem #1 with websites like this :p

            Oh! you are right, this page works but I didnt realize I need to whitelist scripts and script requests for it.

            But even on this view I can only go until the 14th page, where it says the same thing:

            Sorry, guest/bot limit reached. Please login (register) to increase the limit (or unlimited with MobyPlus!)

            Dont you also see this?
