Back in 2001 or so I downloaded an obscure puzzle game for Windows called "Package". It was Japanese in origin, and freeware. It also had a really catchy background music MIDI that rivaled Tetrinet in catchiness. It looks like this:  Feeling nostalgic, I searched high and low for it a few months ago, and only got as far as a few websites. Believe me, it is damned hard to search for a Windows program with such a generic name. It was little heard-of I'm sure, and from Japan, and old (it says it's for Windows 95 in the screenshot, so it must have already been a few years old when I downloaded it). I'm not surprised that there's almost no reference to it on the internet at all. I actually found an archive of the site that I originally downloaded it from: link. The page says its filename is sc5scr.zip, but the link points to the correct file of package.zip. The download link doesn't work though. And I found some bizarre anime website that is currently hosting it, that you need to pay $8/month to access its files: link, (ctrl+f for package). This lists its filename as packinst.exe, which the game extracts from. I also found this FAQ for it: link So, goons, do any of you have a way I can play this game again, or is it doomed to be held for ransom forever by some weird, creepy anime website that was designed in 1998?

Berri posted:I put a search in google for package.exe ゲーム Windows95 The name of the file and file size and the fact that it was a Windows 95 game helped me figure out where it was. Sick. I'll have to put it on my XP computer (Vista hates it) and see if it's as fun as I remember. Listening to the MIDI though, it's awesome
