I found an old disk from years ago titled "Microsoft Best of Entertainment Pack"
I think it is fromaround 1992. It has games such as Jezzball, Chips games like that. Does anybody know how many disks came with it origanily? I only have one right now and if there are more I can seach for them thanks.

I used to have one of those. It only has one disk. And may I ask, why do you even want to play those games? They really suck to me.

What sucks (or does not) is not a "fact" it is "an opinion". Using your logic I would say all games suck...

Here's the only current link I could find but I've no idea what is on it, you would have to download it and see. It is indeed one disc as Ben said. No idea if it is any different to the one you have. It's near the bottom:

The originals (before "best of") comprised 4 packs and they were still available on the net in Sept 2001. I have the downloads (7 Mb) but never installed them. Seems they now have to be purchased.

They could also be put together as individual files (with no install). It is in that form I have them for the kids to play - on an old 486. They were collected previously from freebie discs on magazines. The ones I have are:

Chess
Chip's Challenge
Dr Black Jack
Fuji Golf
Go Figure
Jezzball
Jigsawed
Klotski
Life Genesis
Maxcwells Maniac
Pegged
Pipe Dreams
Rattler Race
Rodent's Revenge
Ski Free
Stones
TetraVex
Tic Tac Drop
Tic Tactics
Wordzap

Far too many for me to send over email (my dial-up only uploads at about half internet speed).

I'll save this post, so if there if there are just a few you would like I would be happy to send them, after you've checked what's on the download. I know all the files that go with them etc etc.

A few years ago I download the 4 that you are talking about. All of those games that you mentioned are on it.

Fine, I thought as much (and others too).

"Best of" sounds like extracts from the four orginal discs to me, so it looks like you've got them all.

I overlooked the last two words in your post ie "to me". So fine, apologies, you did imply it was an opinion.

Yes there were disks 1 & 2 as well. My lists was just some files copied off freebie disks.

'Best of Microsoft Entertainment Pack' was issued on one 1.44MB Floppy Disk. It installs and works with Windows 95 OK.

A bit dated but wait a minute is it not these small games that are making a comeback on the new cell phones!!!
