So, these screens were put together from MUGEN for windows screenshots and medium rare help index screenshots and Oracle DB screenshots and windows 3.1 wallpapers and some clever text. The metaphor is kind of obvious, though - a custom character select screen for truth that has tons and tons of options. Eclectic belief systems like eclectic move sets.

Let me note that the help index graphics were odd because generally all this stuff they made was isometric, right? Well, whoever made the "select help database" one did it wrong and it's not really isometric. There's a few you can scour the archives and find like that - where they have depth but they're not in perspective correctly. Those graphics were not used in the large Everything art piece or any of the Workstation95 assets for that reason. It also makes interesting little one-off pieces where the art feels on-theme but you can't put your finger on why it's not quite right. This is the case with a LOT of the server management and workgroup type software: they had in-house designers make stuff that mimicked official Windows assets, but probably badgered them into making all kinds of junk that engineers liked but didn't make sense. "Make a stack of cylinders to represent the MySQL database" does not translate to the uninitiated type thing.
