Never heard of it. Can you still grab it from somewhere?

@JesseF8693 Well I have a windows 98 VM with Supernova in it, which is newer than Hal 95. It should talk on bootup.

@JesseF8693 Well I'd say try VMWare player 17, but there's some nasty issue with the sound at the moment, not sure why. I have older VMWare 12 and 15 and it's much better.

@JesseF8693 FWIW, VMWare Player 17 sounds great on my machine. I don't know why.

@BorrisInABox @JesseF8693 Things that use the old sound driver fail. AC97. If it's HD Audio it's fine. Windows 10 is fine, for example. Windows 98, ME and XP are using AC97, at least my VM's are, and they break, hard.

Yep, I just saw a youtube video about this the other day from one of the creators. It looked super cool.
