Microsoft Entertainment Pack 3 is a package of multiple entertainment programs including seven single-player games and a screensaver published by Microsoft for Windows 3 in 1991. The various games were made by a variety of developers and included the following:
| Title | Game Type | Developer |
|---|---|---|
| Fuji Golf | Golf game | Chiki Nagai |
| IdleWild (8 new screensavers) | Screen saver | Bradford Christian |
| Klotski | Sliding block puzzle | ZH Computer |
| LifeGenesis | Conway's Game of Life | Jim Horne |
| SkiFree | Action game | Chris Pirih |
| TetraVex | Tile placement game | Scott Ferguson |
| TriPeaks | Tri Peaks solitaire | A RHogue Child |
| WordZap | Word game | Michael F. C. Crick |
Personal
I never owned Entertainment Pack 3, and I don't think I even even knew anyone who had it at the time, but I've since played most of the games in the pack. I have beat TriPeaks and LifeGenesis on easy mode.
Status
I do not own this title.

Best Version: Windows 3
— This section contains spoilers! —
Good
- There is a fairly decent assortment of games. A card game, two sports games, a word game, and some puzzle games.
- Even though it was rare at the time, some of the programs take into account display sizes beyond 640x480 resolution.
Bad
- None of the games have much depth.
- The programs are lacking media being mostly devoid of music, sound effects, and animation.
Ugly
- Nothing.
Media
Like the previous boxes, this package uses a photograph of various toys and games, again, many of which are not represented among the software.
