MICROSOFT ENTERTAINMENT PACK

The original 'Microsoft Windows Entertainment Pack' ('WEP') was a collection of simply-designed computer games for Windows 3.1x. These games were somewhat unusual for the time, in that they would not run under MS-DOS. The most notable of these games is Microsoft's Solitaire game. Many of the games were later released in the Best of Windows Entertainment Pack. There were four Entertainment Packs in the original series.

GameSampler

A version of the Entertainment Pack called the Gamesampler, small enough to fit on a single high-density disk, was shipped as the 11th disk in a ten-pack by Verbatim for much of the early 1990s, allowing many users to acquire them as a freebie. Games on the sampler included Jezzball, Rodent's Revenge, Tetris, and Skifree.
