Anyone know of the preinstalled games on windows 95 and 98?

I want to find out what the games were on windows 95 and 98 as i remember this one game that id quite like (you had to make walls between moving bouncing balls within the window). There were a few others that i cant remember but that i liked. I was wondering if anyone knew what the games were called and maybe where i could get them and the files needed for them to run on windows xp.

(oh yeh and now i remember a game with a mouse and many many cats...no idea what that is either)

something to do with skiing down a mountain, and some wolf catches you if you go too far down 1 side?

also i distinctly remember asteroids on my old win95 computer.

edit: the skiing game is called skifree, that was fun, and 1337 is a hacker term (i think) as well as an invented language.

SkiFree. I remember that one. My old Packard Bell (1997) had Microsoft Chess as OEM software.

Do these games still work under XP? I've never tried them (or found them anywhere for that matter).
