Game Description:
This 2003 Subor "educational" multicart attempted to duplicate something of the Windows 95-2000 experience on your NES/Famicom compatible system. It was issued in Chinese and Russian, with compressed graphics.

While much of this experience is non-functional, most of the Applications work. This includes Gast Word and Excel, Calculator, FBasic, GBasic, Music, Text processing, Background design, Music Board, Typing Test, CD Player, etc.

This cart requires a Subor Keyboard to fully work (rather than the more common Family Basic Keyboard).

This is a somewhat typical "educational" multicart of the Subor/Dendy variety. There were many such educational carts, which came with a keyboard and attempted to turn the clone Famicom/NES hardware into something like a full 8-bit computer (that could also play Famicom games). Versions of Hudson's programmable Family Basic V2 appear, along with music and word processing. The Subor OS was mimicking Windows by the 2000s, although not in the same way as this cart.
Hack Description:
This ROM attempts to duplicate something of the Windows 95-2000 experience on your NES. It was originally issued in Chinese and Russian, with compressed graphics. This hack redesigns the graphics and nametables in English, adding some extra graphical fun here and there.

While much of this experience is non-functional, many Applications work, under Accessories and Games. This includes Gast Word and Excel, Calculator, FBasic, GBasic, Music, Text processing, Background design, Music Board, Typing Test, CD Player, and more. The Subor Keyboard (or an emulated version) is required for best results.

Many graphics are new to this version, including:
- Windows logo
- Flying Toaster screensaver
- Shutdown screens (graphics and text)
- Folder Options
- Private / Media Player (Jennifer Aniston and Matthew Perry)
- Games and Accessories icons

Some of the Russian applications have been translated, like the Music Player and Text Editor.

Apart from the presentation this is a somewhat typical "educational" multicart of the Subor/Dendy variety.
