''Progressbar 95'' is a mobile video game by Spooky House Studios released in 2019 with a PC version released in 2020. Made as a homage to UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows and, later, UsefulNotes/AppleMacintosh (especially the older versions of both operating systems), you use Progressbar OS (a parody of UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows) to control a progress bar and collect blue segments to fill it up. Filling the bar to 100% finishes the level. However, there are many obstacles like pop-ups or crash-inducing red bars that appear which range from disruptive to losing a life. Clearing levels earns you points, which are then used to upgrade hardware, eventually allowing you to install new operating systems (the old ones remain playable). After beating enough levels, you can unlock wallpapers and special titles for the systems, starting with Professional and advancing from there.
