    There was a very simple space game on the computer (I think it came with windows, like hidden with other files or something?) that all the sound effects were just wav files.

    For whatever reason, I used the microphone to record new sound effects but just sounds I could make like “pew” and literally saying the word “boom” and replacing all the files and playing it that way. Must’ve spent several hours on that project for sure.

      I remember recording clips of songs and used them to replace windows sounds. Those wav files took up a lot of space when your hard drive was only like 100 megs

        I wanna say Windows 95? The game was barely a game, and I recall the graphics were especially primitive even for the time (think something you’d do in paint in like an hour total). Can’t remember what it was called though… Pretty sure it was just in a folder and I found it just randomly browsing files.

        It was just looking out from the cockpit of a spaceship (think like that typical white dots flying by a black background) and using the mouse to shoot lasers at stuff that popped up (flying saucers maybe? Honestly can’t remember). I don’t even think there were levels or anything beyond that, can’t even remember if there was a score. There was no flying/controlling the ship either.

          Other comment mentioned Hover!, I was thinking maybe the original Incoming game.
