1. Windows 95

Released in August 1995, Windows 95 was one of the most complete operating systems of the decade. It laid the foundation for the Windows operating system we see today.

Windows 95 introduced the Start menu and Taskbar. Additionally, Windows 95 was the first Windows operating system to no longer rely on MS-DOS for file and disk access.

The Windows 95 emulator we are sending you runs Windows 95 OSR2. This version does not support USB and is only for Pentium chips. While running the emulator, you can use the controls in the upper right corner to switch to full screen mode. You can also enable/disable the mouse.

Since it is a web emulator, all your changes are not saved.

2. Classic Macintosh

In 1984, Apple introduced the first Macintosh computer, later renamed the Mac. It was a groundbreaking computer, the first widely sold computer with a graphical user interface.

This Macintosh runs System 7.0.1 with the first three Mac applications: MacPaint, MacDraw, and Kid Pix. Because it requires fewer resources than the Windows 95 emulator, the Classic Macintosh emulator will run faster.

3. Macintosh Plus

Two years after introducing the first Macintosh computer, Apple introduced the Macintosh Plus. This computer had 1MB of RAM (supporting up to 4MB), an 800KB floppy drive, and support for seven peripheral devices.

In 1986 there were quite a few applications and games available so the Macintosh Plus emulator included games like Risk, Cannon Fodder and Shufflepuck.

4. Windows 3.1

Windows 3.1 was released in April 1992 to replace the original Windows 3.0.

Despite the same name, Windows 3.1 was a huge improvement. Most notably, Microsoft introduced TrueType fonts for the first time, turning Windows into a word processing machine. The three fonts available were Arial, Courier New, and Times New Roman.

Other features added for the first time included icon drag and drop, mouse support in MS-DOS applications, and the Program Manager application. Theoretically, Windows 3.1 supported a maximum of 4GB of RAM, but in practice only 256MB was available.

Windows 3.1 was replaced by Windows 95 but was supported until 2008.

5. AmigaOS

AmigaOS version 1.2 first appeared on the Commodore Amiga 500. The 500 was the best-selling computer in the entire Amiga line. Announced at CES 1987, it was released worldwide that spring.

Despite being a general-purpose home computer, the PC carved out a niche as a gaming machine. Titles such as The Secret of Monkey Island, Lemmings, Elite, and Sensible Soccer won worldwide acclaim. In terms of specifications, the Amiga 500 had resolutions ranging from 320x200 to 640x400, a 32-color display, and 512 KB of RAM.

You have a few options when it comes to using AmigaOS in your browser. Amiga Workbench Simulation allows you to run AmigaOS 1.0 through 4.1 in your browser, although its functionality is limited. Alternatively, you can try OSZX Online Amiga Emulator, which comes with built-in games and is easy to use, but doesn't allow you to load the actual Amiga Workbench. Either way, the option is there.

6. PC DOS 5

At a time when Apple and Commodore were competing with each other with their Macintosh and Amiga lines of computers, IBM quietly appeared. In 1981, IBM sold its first computer model.

In 1986, the PC XT 286 was introduced as an upgrade to the original model. The XT 286 was also introduced with the PC DOS 5 operating system. The XT 286 had 640KB of RAM, a 20MB hard drive, and a 6MHz processor.

In 1991, PC DOS 5 was released, marking one of the most significant overhauls in the history of the DOS operating system. It was also the last version of DOS for which Microsoft and IBM shared all of the code.

This PC DOS 5 emulator will bring you 3 classic games for you to experience including Wolfenstein 3D, original Civilization and Monkey Island.

7. MacOS 8.0

Did you know that the first macOS to carry this name was macOS 7.6, released in January 1997? It started out as System 7, the name given to every version of macOS up until that point, and was changed to its now-world-famous name midway through development.

MacOS 8.0 was a huge success at the time, selling over 1.2 million copies in its first two weeks, and brought a number of major improvements over its predecessor. Perhaps most notably, macOS 8.1 introduced the HFS+ file system, which Apple continued to use until the release of macOS High Sierra in 2017—some 20 years later.

The Finder app also received a major upgrade, with native integration with the PowerPC chips used in Apple hardware at the time, while the Platinum interface made its debut.

Now, the best part about the macOS 8.0 demo linked on InfiniteMac is all the other older versions of macOS you can use as well, from System 1 in 1984 to macOS 9.2.2 in 2001.

8. Windows 1.01

Released in November 1985, Windows 1.01 was the first version of Bill Gates' operating system to be released to the public. It was essentially a graphical user interface for MS-DOS. Windows 1.01 ran as an MS-DOS program.

Applications on this operating system include calculator, calendar, Clipboard Viewer, clock, Notepad, Paint, Reversi, Cardfile, Terminal and Write. All of these applications are available in the emulator we present to you.

Windows 1.01 also included separate drivers for video cards, mice, keyboards, printers, serial communications, and applications.
