These games came from the Windows 3.11 era, so when these games came out, the Program Files folder didn’t exist, and long filenames didn’t exist at the time either.
Sure the posted image shows the games apparently installed on Windows 98, but the installer was designed for Windows 3.11, so if I recall correctly, the installer put these games under C:\ENTPACK.
Well, except for the odd file GOLF.DAT for Fuji Golf, for whatever reason that file had to be in C:\WINDOWS.
Could be. Noticing the shaded title bar, that cosmetic feature came around somewhere between Windows 95 OSR2 or Windows 98, and stuck through ME, 2000, and even XP in classic theme mode.
These were on other people’s Windows computer but never ours.
If I wanted to play JezzBall, I had to walk to the other side of the neighborhood.
I think if you had the same OS, you could’ve just followed the shortcuts and copied the games. Usually games were installed in

Thank you for the info. I couldn’t remember what the Window looked like in Windows 98. I thought it could be ME

No, believe me I checked (multiple times).
My parent were frugal and bought the computer that didn’t come with the Entertainment Packs preinstalled.
Edit: Didn’t think to pirate software when I was eight or nine years old, no.
Oh… I meant copy it from your friend’s computer using a disk or a CD if they had a burner.
Yeah but these were self-contained and small enough to fit on a floppy disk. You definitely could have just copied them.
Not sure where your folks were getting your computers from but this was frequently a “free” pack in during the package deal days
