#12: So Retro It Hurts
This screenshot is the epitome of nostalgia. The Windows 95 operating system really was the best. There’s something so comforting about the blocky 16-bit visuals that take us back to the good old days. Minesweeper, Internet Explorer, and the built-in CD player program were all we needed for a thrilling Friday night at home.
