mikeyeldey95 is an album released as a Sega Mega Drive cartridge. It is presented in a frontend that parodies the Windows 95 operating system.

Gameplay

Desktop.

When the album is powered on, a boot sequence is displayed followed by the title screen. Upon pressing START at the title screen, the user is presented with a desktop environment with several icons, which can be selected using the D-Pad and started with the button. Pressing the START button opens and closes the Start menu, which includes more options to choose from, including games and visualizers. Pressing ++ together at almost any point in the desktop environment will display a reboot prompt, similar to pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete in Windows.

The icons on the desktop, all of which are also available in the Accessories menu in the Start menu, will launch apps with a variety of features, such as a music player with 11 tracks from the album, a "Display" app that can change the wallpaper and desktop colours, an "Internet" app that pretends to connect to the internet to allow the user to display various websites such as Twitter, Bandcamp and the Space Jam website, and an "Inbox" app with email to read. Attempting to load the attachment in one of the emails will "infect" the operating system with a virus, however selecting "Repair" will undo its effects.

Selecting "Shut Down" in the Start menu will let the user shut down or restart the app, or start "ME-DOS mode" with four PSG songs to listen to. In "ME-DOS mode", and moves the selection, plays the selected file, or stops any music playing, and START reboots.
