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

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

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.

[@packerfan10]

Merry Christmas!

Back in 99 or 2000, my grandma would print out all of the connect the dots from this pack and give them to my sister and I, kept me occupied for hours.

1:50 The realism in the graphics is astounding. 🙃

[@ZealotBeats]

Merry early chrismas everyone 🎉🎄

[@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

[@xpath7]

i do

[@j2gamesofficial]

Same LOL

[@sjogosPT]

This thing was amazing for that time. If i had this as a kid i would had very fun with it.

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

[@ghunterplays1637]

Wall made of floppy soo cool lmao

[@SpazzTH]

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.
