The Jezzball dilemma

Many many years ago... before Windows 95 in fact, Microsoft came out with Microsoft Entertainment Packs and on them were some basic games.

The games remain easily available but at they were 16 bit they cannot be run on 64 bit versions of Windows.

Jezzball was one of those games.



I spent many hours trying to master that game.

There are Jezzball flash games and 32 bit upgrades by shady websites I don't trust.

Any ideas on getting the original 16 bit to run that does not involve installing a virtual box?

Click the link. Very different gameplay.





Is this not acceptable?

It's the closest to the original in "feel" of a few I found yesterday but it just isn't the same.

Found a site claiming to have a 32 bit version for download - Jezzball Game Free - But frankly I don't trust it isn't full of malware and even if it isn't, the screenshots show it doesn't look like the original.

I do not want to play a game called jizzball.

I loved that game.

I used to get the balls into the tiniest boxes... big bonus on level completions.

Just the opposite for me in high school. My tiny balls in big loose boxes
