Progressbar 95 is advertised as a game that will make you smile. It'll more than likely make you chuckle as well.
- Fill the bar with only orange segments to get the "Nonconformist" bonus. Who cares about points, going against the grain is more important! Plus, it gives you a point bonus!
- Taken up to eleven if you go for 5%, the inverse of 95%.
- Only have 1% left to that next computer component? Clippy will show up and mock you with a ":)))))" speech bubble.
- Tap on Clippy when he says "Don't press!" and carries a 4x sign. He'll show up with four copies and say "I told you!" Schmuck Bait at its finest.
- Try to delete Bin in ProgressDOS for an endless wave of "BIN INSIDE BIN" communicates.
- Bouncing a ball into Bin makes him yell "GOAL!!!" and spit it out with increased happiness.
- Progressbar NOT 4.0's password system. It doesn't have any letters, only five symbols. The password is "***".
- The eighth wallpaper for Progressbar Largehorn is blatantly unfinished."This is a test build. We had no time to design all the wallpapers, so we decided to put some text instead. This is it."
"This is not a joke!"
"Yes it is!" - If you're playing on BarOS, instead of Clippy, you get a version of the Happy Mac. Instead of trying to help or telling you it loves you, it brags about how smart, awesome, and cool it is. Even funnier considering the stereotype of both the late Steve Jobs and Mac users in general as being snobbish and aloof, as seen in the "I'm a Mac and I'm a PC" ads Apple put out in the mid-2000's.
- A pretty funny Easter egg to gamers, especially if you're playing the Steam version: Going into ProgressDOS and navigating to C://Programs/HLIII, then executing HLIII.EXE gets you a message that reads, "Half-Light III Confirmed!"
- Some of the email messages you get. One's a 419Scam involving "Prince Clippy of Progresstania", and another one of the spam messages is a reference to Monty Python's famous Spam sketch, complete with the ability to rely with "I don't like email spam". Another one pops up most commonly after a System Crash, and has the IT department send you a 'helpful' message - "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" Doubles as a clue to the fact that restarting the game gives you the Shutdown bonus. Responding to this email or any of the Spam emails results in more spam.
- If you do the one thing you should never do on an old Windows OS and delete System32, you have to first confirm you're the admin and aren't cheating, and then you destroy the OS and need to recover it in a Button Masher mini game. After restoring it and playing on the same OS for a bit, you will eventually get the popup and achievement "Hello, Dave!""You've deleted me recently. That is okay. I have a very good memory(RAM)!"
