Purble Place was a collection of three educational puzzle games developed by Microsoft and included with Windows Vista in 2007 and later Windows 7, where players matched tiles, baked cakes and built characters. Its bright menu and game-start sounds became familiar to a generation who played it on shared family computers, long before it became a piece of internet nostalgia. Clips like this one now circulate on soundboards and in videos because they instantly signal old-school PC gaming, childhood and a simpler era of casual computer games.
