interesting: The Windows 95 "final beta" version contains an extra game called "Party Line"

if you launch it, it just asks if you want to start a party line or connect to one, but neither option works on my install. they give netdde errors.

Some kind of network chat program? that's also a game?

apparently it was just a very simple chat program. like, you can send single-line messages over netbios

@foone pretty sure they shipped that in the final but just renamed it to… what was it, message.exe or something? Where you can send a message to anyone and it pops up as a modal dialog box over whatever they were doing.

Oh, and “anyone” can be “broadcast to everyone on the network”
