About

WinBLA 95

Features
Read full description

WinBLA 95 is a mini-game with a question and two answers: YES or NO. How do you play? You answer YES or NO. That's it! Right answers score points, wrong answers lose them. Restart or Shut Down the "computer" whenever you want (but careful, especially if you dare pick the semBLA alternate icon and then hit Restart). And to think some people were born after the 2000s and probably never even saw the Start button. Can you believe that?! Of course you can. The nostalgia is for whoever had fun with the endless menus of 90s and 00s computing. THE X, WATCH THE X Rumor has it tapping X brings memories back. With dances that are not TikTok. EVERYTHING FREE, EXCEPT THE BLUE SCREEN The app is free. The Sim Pro IAP (about R$ 1.99) unlocks several useless but very fun extras: five nostalgic alternate app icons (including semBLA, which you will not dare pick), a bigger NO button than YES, and our favorite here at the studio, an "I (heart) BLA" message on the Dynamic Island. All useless, extremely cute and fun, made for whoever wants to support BLA and its apps. The mini-game, the questions, the records: all free. Important: Sim Pro does not let you quit by tapping X. WHAT'S IN THE APP • Yes/No dialogs on an infinite loop (while it lasts) • A score sheet that lies (that ScanDisk saved it) • Start menu with Settings, Task Manager, Restart and Shut Down • Desktop with My Computer and Recycle Bin (do they do anything? Bianca?) • Native trap (back then we called it "midi" or a ringtone) • Six gorgeous icons 100% OFFLINE No account. No ads. WinBLA 95 is an app Developed in Goiânia by BLA Publicações e Conteúdo Digital. BLA develops native apps focused on content, clarity and real experience.
