A Windows 16bit internet browser+email suite. It leveraged Internet Explorer‘s HTML rendering engine.

This is probably the most significant piece of software I’ve ever used, because it was the initial prompt for my writing and publishing reviews. It pushed a major hobby and has influenced whole careers. As for it being any good.. well it had potential that it didn’t meet. At the time it was better than Opera but it just didn’t survive the web browser marathon.

An email client. I believe this was originally 16 bit and I likely ran it on Windows 3.1.

This would have been one of my major programs back then. (version not recorded)

Doom II

aka Doom II: Hell on Earth

–

The last level from Doom 2 has a certain sound which I’ve heard in movies. Perhaps it came from somewhere else, but I’m forever calling it the Doom sound.
