This is where Mikeware™ got it's roots. Below you shall found some of Mikeware™'s earlier projects. They will be supported little, may not work 100%, but can still be fun to the open mind.
They may or may not return in newer updated versions, but this is where they started.
(Mikeware™ still claims all rights to the material below.)

As desktop stress relievers go, here's a take at it. From mainly just a DirectX experiment, part summer madness, and part insanity came this. Posted by "popular" demand is BlastEm!
The game is fairly straight forward. There is no story, the goal is to relieve your stress on your desktop. It is not intended to be serious and for Maturer Audiences Only.

Some Legacy software may be in ZIP format. Support the free 7-Zip archiver.
However, most Legacy Software is packaged in Self-Installing exe files thanks to Inno Setup. To use these Self-Installing packages, Windows 95 is required.
Some DOS Legacy Software is compressed using UPX. If you encounter errors while using Mikeware™ software and feel they are caused by the UPX packaging, please e-mail support for Non-UPXed versions.
VBRUN300.DLL is required by Legacy Win3x programs to function. If your software states this file is missing you may download it to the left. Place it in your Windows\System directory or where the program's exe file is located.
