There’s not much that’s more comfy than an MJD video about old Christmas windows software on an old PC. Merry Chrismas to all

Man, this reminds me of being a kid and printing out greeting cards made with clip art. Merry Christmas, MJD and everyone else watching!

[@pikachuchujelly7628]

We used to make our own cards using some Broderbund software (forget the exact name). It came with my favorite screensaver of all time called "Art Gallery" which would simulate an airbrush painting pictures on your screen.

At first I thought this was for Windows 8. I would never wish Windows 8 a merry Christmas!

[@ImusingX]

How about Windows 8.1

[@progamer3000-uz7pj]

Why wouldn't you Wish windows 8 merry christmas. At least Windows 8.1 because it isn't that Bad. Also I thought it was for windows 8 too

[@belstar1128]

while they had a lot of bad ideas with windows 8 by 2012. they realised these Microsoft bob things were a bad idea

[@CainSouthern2112]

MJD reminds me of how LGR used to be, good stuff :D

[@thesidneychan]

I would binge watch LGR's tech tales and most of the documentary and review stuff, and then MJD's documentary stuff, then re-watch all of them. Both are in a similar category of comfort food.

[@belstar1128]

remember the really early lgr where he had his clones and other silly stuff

[@39zack]

@@belstar1128 he still does on his Christmas videos

KYE is honestly a good puzzle game. I played it a lot back in the day!

It was a fun game I still have it floating around I even created some levels.

[@alfredklek]

That Windows alert chime is apparently so hard wired into my brain that, even though I stopped using system sounds in something like 2002, and probably haven't run win9x since then either, I still think that my computer has posted an error every time I hear it. Watching this is reminding me just how gd often Windows felt the need to startle you about something.

[@LiamFrancisOlarte]

I love your videos! Merry Christmas! I thiught it was for windows 8.0

[@smyry]

this is my new Charlie Brown merry Christmas Michael!

[@sorenshawnsen]

Who else thought this was a Windows 8 video 😂

[@random_person618]

That's me. That's why I clicked on this video! 😂😂

[@belstar1128]

i was very confused since i know they stopped making stuff like this in 2012 just from the title you could tell its a 90s thing. also if this is version 8 i would have assumed they made a new one once a year but then the first version would be from 1990 or the 80s. but it seems the first version is from 1992 so they either didn't release some versions or made multiple versions in some years

[@thecomputerkid7]

i do

[@winbr2000]

Same LOL

[@NicolARark]

Happy christmas everyone!! And hope you all have some merry MJD times ;)

That flower was a poinsettia, and it's related to Christmas.

I still have the floppy for the Windows 3.1 version of this, I never knew there was a 9x version! I loved playing Christmas Kye and found out years later that there is an original standard version of Kye.

[@imark7777777]

It was a fun game I still have it floating around I even created some levels. I feel like the exact opposite I never knew there was a Christmas version until now.

[@billyhatcher643]

if it was remade today and they had the elves say oof that would have made me laugh so much also the car theme had tires on the screen too which was pretty neat to see

Feliz Navidad! (Spanish for Merry Christmas)
