Default Windows 95 Game Hover

I now have Windows XP, but when I ran on Windows 95, I remember playing a
game called hover. Anyone know if there is some sort of way to get the game
off of the cd or if there is a place to download it or if it would even work
on windows xp?

Alan, if you google for "The HOVER Site" you should find your answer.

I have been to that site but that is not the same version. It is similar in
some ways, but overall it was different.

Unlike most Widows applications, Hover can just be copied to a folder on
the hard drive of a Windows XP computer. Recently worked for me. I
copied the entire folder and its sub-folders from the CD and used the
context menu to create a shorcut to the hover.exe file. Gripes about not
being in a 256 color mode, but runs fine just the same.
