About Windows XP Parody

Windows XP Parody is smoothstudios’ interactive imitation of a desktop computer. Icons, menus, sound effects and hidden files lead to jokes rather than a conventional win condition; it is a parody, not a usable Windows installation.

CONTROLS & OBJECTIVE

How to play

  1. Click the desktop icons and Start menu to open the parody’s windows. Explore the controls and look inside the available folders for hidden jokes.
  2. Close a window to return to the desktop and try another item. Nothing here configures your real computer or provides a genuine operating system.

Game and objective

Windows XP Parody is an interactive spoof of the Windows XP desktop interface.

Its creator presents a fictional desktop with icons, a Start menu, sound effects and hidden jokes. There is no conventional score or race to complete.

How to play

Explore the imitation icons, sounds and Start menu, and look for the hidden files mentioned by the creator.

Click an icon or menu item to see how the parody responds, close the resulting window and try another part of the desktop. Searching the available folders is part of the experience.
