Return of the Jedi Audioclips for Windows 3.1 by Sound Source Interactive

This software from 1994 is for Windows 3.1 and lets you assign a number of Star Wars audio clips to various computer tasks like deleting a file. I have a feeling it would’ve gotten old pretty quickly, but there was a time in my life when I might have liked this kind of thing. It comes on one 3.5″ floppy disk (remember those?) and I actually dug out an old USB floppy drive that I hadn’t used in years just to see what was on the disk. I was able to access the files, but the sound files are in a format that none of my software seems to be able to recognize. From what I can tell from the charming 8-character file names, there were at least a couple of sound clips of Jabba, as well as various other lines and sound effects.

I used to have an installation of Windows 3.1 on Virtual PC on my Mac, and I thought about trying to install the software there, but after spending twenty minutes or so trying to get it to run again, I realized that my time would be better spent elsewhere. Still, I really like the box the software came in.
