So there was this windows game on either '95 or '98

That I remember.
And I'm trying to find it for nostalgia's sake.
At least I think it was a windows game, it came installed on the computer at the time of purchase anyway.

Basically it was a game where you could use hammers and other objects, and some guns, to 'smash holes' in an image of your desktop, that filled the screen.
And there was another one where objects (cooked chickens, TVs, etc) would fall from the top of the screen on the desktop, and you had to bounce them back up by moving a spring from left to right along the bottom of the screen.

I'm not sure what the chances are of anybody knowing what on Earth I'm referring to, but I'm hopeful. Razz

THANK YOU SO MUCH

You have no idea how long I've been trying to remember what it was called.
I remembered what the one with the spring was called too, Desktop Splat.

I still have a few games on floppy and a '95 desktop, I have a problem with not being able to throw things away.

Well, just been-a-rooting and found about 150 of my old floppy disks, found a few Zip disk's too, all of 100Mb each Shocked

Found Windows 3.1 on floppy, decided i'm gonna go all nostalgic and load it on a spider web infested Olivetti laptop i found in my box marked 'working' it has an 808Mb Hdd, 28Mbram and 1 usb port, huge in its day.
Also found my favorite time wating 'game' It's called Lamb, 308Kb of sheep that wander round the desktop peeing on your work and being a genuine nusiance.
