In the trash can there's a strange zip file you can download. Unzipping it reveals a readme.txt, which says:

Sorry, no album download for the moment, our server is under reddit hug... The album is also here : https://jankenpopp.bandcamp.com/album/poire-c-poire-v

Going to this bandcamp it mentions:

THE IDEA BEHIND THIS ALBUM WAS TO MAKE A DEVIANT DANCE MUSIC LABEL TO RELEASE THIS HORRIBLE TRACKS, BUT THIS PROJECT WENT TOTALLY WRONG AND BECAME THE THING KNOWS AS WWW.WINDOWS93.NET THERE IS A LIMITED SD-CARD EDITION OF THIS ALBUM THAT YOU CAN BUY FROM ME IRL FOR 10€ THIS ALBUM WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR FREE BUT HIDDEN ON WIN93 SOON, IF YOU SUCCEED TO FIND IT.

So I guess that's the backstory.

This website just taught me that there is an HTML5 Speech Synthesis API! And there are so many accents you can choose from!

Well, it's a separate API that only Chrome and Safari support, and the accents are all on your computer already.

I was very hopeful when I saw Ecco.

There is an Ecco rom and emulator hiding. I couldn't get the emulator to run correctly though.

There is also a Gameboy emulator that runs the glitch version of Pokemon Red!

This is great! Nice easter eggs, too: "Cat Explorer" redirects facebook.com to ello.co.

Try reddit and google. Wonder if there's a list somewhere ...

There's a real glitch version? What's the background?

Solitaire (Solitude) is nice but it has a weird bug, some cards cannot be found

microsoft.com redirects to windows93.net. It's inception.
