Klotz 3.01

32-bit Windows programming didn't start with Windows 95. The first 32-bit Windows operating system was Windows NT 3.1, released in July 1993. But the software development kit was released nearly a year earlier, along with a contest for shareware authors. Wolfgang Strobl won the first prize in the games category with this port of Klotz: A graphics card that could display 1280×1024 with 256 colors at 72 Hz, and a matching 15" monitor.

Ironically, unlike the 16-bit version, this one will not run on XP any more. It runs well on Windows 3.1 with Win32s.
