Free 90s software for windows

SimW 1.2 is regarded as a very flexible and effective simulator in the spirit of the old SimPig and SimBush programs of the early 90s. Sit back and listen to George W. tell it like it is. Plays random audio clips of W butchering the English grammar and flip-flopping over nation building and Iraq. You control the speed. Also, a slide show is given that compares George's response to 9/11 with FDR's response to Pearl Harbor. User controls the speed.

Requirements:

• Windows 98/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003 Server
• Macromedia Flash 6.0 plug-in or player

MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator and recognizes over six thousand game ROM sets. MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. When used in conjunction with an arcade games data files (ROMs), MAME will more or less faithfully reproduce that game on a PC.
MAME can currently emulate over 3000 unique (and over 5400 in total) classic arcade video games from the three decades of video games - 70s, 80s and 90s, and even some from the current millennium.
The ROM images that MAME utilizes are "dumped" from arcade games original circuit-board ROM chips. MAME becomes the "hardware" for the games, taking the place of their original CPUs and support chips. Therefore, these games are NOT simulations, but the actual, original games that appeared in arcades.
MAMEs purpose is to preserve these decades of video-game history. As gaming technology continues to rush forward, MAME prevents these important "vintage" games from being lost and forgotten.
This is achieved by documenting the hardware and how it functions, thanks to the talent of programmers from the MAME team and from other contributors. Being able to play the games is just a nice side-effect, which doesnt happen all the time. MAME strives for emulating the games faithfully.
Even though MAME allows people to enjoy the long-lost arcade games and even some newer ones, the main purpose of the project is to document the hardware (and software) of the arcade games.
There are already many dead arcade boards, whose function has been brought to life in MAME. Being able to play the games is just a nice side-effect.
MAME as an emulation program is also pretty simple and easy-to-use.
System requirements:
- Intel Celeron / AMD Duron 1000 MHz
- 128 - 256 MB RAM
- a varying amount of hard drive space (a complete MAME ROM set would take over forty gigabytes, but most individual ROM sets are quite small)
- DirectX (Windows version) or VESA 2.0+ (DOS version) compatible graphics card
- Any sound card that works in Windows (Windows version) or Sound Blaster compatible sound card (DOS version)

Requirements: none

While Jackson didn't write all of his songs, he penned the majority, and those he didn't, he made his own once he sang them. With one glove, a red jacket, and a pocket full of pretty pop ditties that made millions walk as if they were dancing on the moon, weird and eccentric Jackson became an immensely successful, world-renowned pop icon to say the least. Rockin' off a string of hits with Jackson 5, the kid from Gary, Indiana, recorded two records without the brothers in the early '70s, resulting in a couple of bubblegum pop hits "My Girl," "Rockin' Robin," and "Got To Be There." At the closing of the '70s, Jackson and Diana Ross starred in The Wiz, which was produced by Quincy Jones; Jackson and Jones began working together on more mature, funky pop tunes, which ultimately vaulted Jackson to superstardom.

With Jones producing, Jackson recorded Off The Wall(1979), which included four top 10 hits: "Rock With You," "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough," "She's Out Of My Life," and the title track. "Don't Stop..." earned him a Grammy for Best R&B Vocal, Male. But four years later, Jackson was to make Grammy history, sales history, chart history, and dance history. In 1983, with Jones at the knobs again, Jackson created the quintessential pop-dance disc, Thriller, which eventually sold a phenomenal 45 million worldwide; beginning with the Paul McCartney duet "The Girl Is Mine," the record ultimately generated an unprecedented seven top 10 singles: "Billie Jean," "Beat It," "P.Y.T.(Pretty Young Thing)," "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'," "Thriller," and "Human Nature." Thriller also received a record 12 Grammy nominations, earning eight awards. Jackson also set new standards in videos with "Beat It," which paved the way for other black artists on MTV, and the auspicious "Thriller" video, a horror film short with voice work by Vincent Price. The Moonwalk became the next big dance step, and Jackson sipped Pepsi for money, received an award from then-President Ronald Reagan, toured the globe with his brothers for Victory, co-penned the number-one hit "We Are The World," starred in his bizarre 3D short, Captain Eo, and purchased the ATV music publishing catalogue, which featured 250 Lennon/McCartney songs. If 1987's Bad had not been preceded by Thriller, it certainly would have been received better and had more impact; following the exceptional 1983 album, Bad fell short of expectations(as everything else would), and although it was nominated for several Grammy Awards, the album received only one. Not to slight its importance in the clubs and charts, Jackson had five hits including "Bad," "I Just Can't Stop Loving You," "Dirty Diana," and "Man In The Mirror," and the record sold over 22 million copies worldwide.

He became addicted to painkillers, Pepsi ended the 10-year business relationship, and even stranger, in 1994, Jackson married Lisa Marie Presley; rumors of it being for show were denied, but the questionable marriage ended in divorce. Also in 1993, Jackson received the Living Legend Grammy Award.
With a keen eye for business, and also possibly realizing his albums post-Thriller were selling less and less, Jackson sandwiched the old hits with potential new hits on the double-disc set, HIStory: Past, Present And Future, Book One, which entered the charts at number one in June 1995; the album, featuring 15 old and 15 new songs, produced several singles over the next two years. As one of many promotions, the self-indulgent, egotistical 30-minute television special Michael Jackson Changes HIStory aired on network TV as well as MTV and featured the new short film, You Are Not Alone(which followed the previously released short Scream and preceded the 1996 35-minute film Ghost, which starred Jackson). In '97, while on tour in support of HIStory, Jackson released the remix album Blood On The Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix, which included eight remixes from his 1995 album plus five new songs. Also in '97, Jackson's Thriller became the biggest selling record in the United States with 25 million sold.
