Microsoft Entertainment Pack
The original Windows Entertainment Pack (WEP) is a collection of 16-bit casual computer games for Windows. These games were somewhat unusual for the time, in that they would not run under MS-DOS. Many of the games were later released in the Best of Microsoft Entertainment Pack. There were four Entertainment Packs in the original series. All games being 16-bit run on modern 32-bit versions of Windows but not on 64-bit Windows. Support for all versions of Microsoft Entertainment Pack ended on January 31, 2003.
FreeCell, Minesweeper, Taipei and Chess from this pack were later bundled with Windows.
==Origins and Development==
Microsoft Entertainment Pack was designed by the company's “Entry Business” team, whose job was to make Windows more appealing to homes and small businesses. Ex-Microsoft product manager Bruce Ryan said the company did this because it "was concerned that the operating system’s high hardware requirements meant that people would only see it as a tool for large enterprises".〔http://www.businessinsider.com.au/bill-gates-was-a-microsoft-minesweeper-addict-2015-8〕 The project has "almost no budget", and no major video game publishers got involved because they doubted Windows' legitimacy as a gaming platform; therefore Ryan compiled a series of games that Windows employees had been working on in their spare time.〔http://www.businessinsider.com.au/bill-gates-was-a-microsoft-minesweeper-addict-2015-8〕
