Spectre VR (Apple Quadra/Performa 630, 1994) The game is a combination of bumper cars and capture the flag and is now also available for free for Windows 8 in the Windows Store. This 3D first person perspective game, developed by Microsoft themselves, was meant as a showcase for the multimedia capabilities of the PC/Windows 95 at the time. Hover! was included on a CD-ROM with Windows 95. Minesweeper was dropped as standard install in Windows 8, but is still available in the Windows Store as free app. Even after all those years, I still suck at the game.
Minesweeper was included in the standard install of Windows since Windows 3.1 in 1992. Interestingly, Microsoft first included the game to familiarize users with graphical user interfaces (not common at the time of MS-DOS) and the use of a mouse and techniques such as drag-and-drop. Microsoft has included the game as part of the Windows operating system since Windows 3.0, starting from 1990. Solitaire (also known as Klondike) is probably the most played desktop game ever. Here's a short list of some of those games, let me know what games you're missing :). Those are the kind of games you just play when you're bored at work, or just to pass some time quickly.
Desktop Computers often come with some low-budget pack-in games.
