90s kids rejoice: Web browser that no one uses makes a really cool commercial

Internet Explorer ad tugs at heartstrings of Gen-Y users



Whether you love or hate Internet Explorer, you've got to admit that some of its ads are pretty good.

Microsoft's latest IE ad, dubbed “Child of the 90s,” tries to appeal to people who remember the web browser at its worst.

The video shows snapshots of passing 1990s fads, such as Slap Wraps and Pogs. Meanwhile, a narrator describes how things were different back then. (My favorite line: “Lunch was a puzzle, not a picture,” spoken while stacks of Lunchables arrange themselves for an Instagram-style photo.) Take a look.

You can actually download the game and the emulator to play it on somewhere. Do you want me to find it for you?

If you could, that'd be awesome! i remember finding a version you can play on a website but it only worked half the time and eventually I couldn't find it.

The top of the page has a link that'll tell you how to use the emulator and towards the bottom are the links to download both the emulator and the rom of the game. Good luck!

Here's the one you can play right in your browser if you have a mac also :)

I think you have to DL a plugin for Chrome but it works perfectly at least for me
