Uncle Weevy, from 2001, still works in Windows with a little coaxing, last time I checked... though your computer will try to convince you that it's dangerous to download, which it isn't. It's artware, not malware, but Windows can't tell the difference. If you have nerves of steel (or an old Windows computer you were planning to get rid of anyway), run UncleWeevyInstall.exe (10.7 MB). You will need to install a particular version of DirectX 9.0c as well.
