Space Cadet?
-
right? and what in the fuck is purble place?
-
A fever dream.
TBH I’d forgotten this game existed till it was brought up in another thread a long while back. I probably only played like an hour of it out of curiosity, but yeah Space Cadet was my jam. This YouTuber has a pretty interesting vid on the game Purble Place.

My childhood
-
Came here to say, if it's not including Space Cadet it's trash
-
These are vista games, these icons are the pinnacle of frutiger aero, space cadet was xp only.

You forgot about Hover! which was bundled with Windows 95.
-
Chips challenge on win98 was awesome as a kid.
-
chip's challenge is iconic
-
Yes! Ahem, as a kid. Yes.

But not exclusive to windows.
-
It's on Steam!
-
-
Oh, only on cd edition. No wonder I don't know it. We bought our Windows 95 on 26 floppies.
-
Wow I forgot about this entirely. I actually really liked it, even if I never played more than an hour at a time.
-
Looks like the autolinking misses the
!at the end of your link: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hover! -
Remember HoverRace?

I don't like that Windows 7 is old enough to unironically be called a classic.
-
Windows 7 is 16 years old.
Classic cars are at least 20 years old but not older than 45 years...
It's nearly there
-
-
You forgot the all time classic Dependency Resolution, and the psychological thriller "I fucked up my bootloader".
-
Some one actually grew up on Vista? I thought that was a myth
besides the objectively best PC exclusive is super Tux.
-
No love for Jezzball?
-
SuperTux, SuperTuxKart, 0 A.D, Xonotic, Sonic RoboBlast…
-
SuperTuxKart works on Switch!
-
-
Where's Skifree?
-
Eaten by a Yeti
-
-
FreeCell is my jam
-
Whenever I see the Purble eyes icon I think of that Zoombini educational game.
-
I played this pick up stick one growing up on our 97, but I don't know if that was exclusive.
-
King just released Solitaire, so I guess it's not exclusive anymore
-
A crime they were replaced by hot garbage
-
Modern windows solitaire has adds snd levels and stuff. I mean come on, give me a break. And minesweeper isn't preinstalled. You need admin rights and I don't have them on my work laptop which is the only windows computer I use
-
There are modded XP versions of all the classic Windows games that work in modern Windows. Look into those.
-
-
Hover!
-
Nethack not included?
-
I was into Full Tilt, the pinball thing that I remember playing extensively on XP
-
I won't mind a Balatro mod/remaster that make it look like Solitaire on Windows 7
-
SkiFree? TriPeaks? Klotski?
-
For some reason I thought Peggle was an exclusive, but I guess it launched for PC and Mac.
-
Minecraft Java edition
-
I am pretty sure Minesweeper was on Game Boy. And there are various versions of other games on various platforms as well.
-
Many of these games are on other platforms.
Microsoft included Minesweeper and Solitaire in the early versions of Windows to teach users how to use a GUI interface. Minesweeper to teach differential of left and right click, and solitaire to teach users how to drag and drop. Neither were previously needed for most users.

Don't forget Nocturne for Windows 95. I wanna play this fucking game but it's unplayable in WINE. I can't imagine it works well on Windows 11 either.
