What players say
interesting short meta puzzle It uses a fake but familiar operating system, with recognizable programs and interface, and turns them into pieces to a short puzzle, that often require some out of the box kind of logic and experimentation to be solved. Macdowns 95 is a non linear game and hints are available if needed.

So people have been urging me to switch OS systems and so I thought i would give this a shot. Instructions are a bit unorthodox. A lot of lateral thinking puzzle solving just to get to the install window. Was a lot of fun- I mean trouble just to get the damn thing to work but it seems to be running great now! EDIT: Apparently this OS nonsense fried my brain enough I made some typing errors. Oops!
The CIA fellows glow in the dark, you can see 'em if you're driving, you just run them over, that's what you do. Freaking CIA fellows.
