A bonus CD-ROM for Windows and Mac that was included in the official Japanese player's guide for Doubutsu no Mori+ (Animal Crossing) on GameCube. It includes a clock application and Animal Crossing-themed desktop icons. There is another application that copies the clock executable and the icons to a folder of the user's choice.
NOTE: This CD-ROM only works properly if your computer's region is set to Japan. All of the Japanese text is non-unicode and will not render properly on modern English operating systems; the copying application also does not run unless the system is set to Japan, and the OS will think some folders are corrupted. The programs and folders seem to work perfectly on a Windows 10 machine with the region set to Japan.

Fashion Trip was a virtual mall created by software developer ModaCAD, and released in 1998 and available on Windows 98 and 95. The software was to act as a "Personal fashion consultant, 3D Virtual Mall and Fashion Magazine all in one"
The user could register via a questionnaire that collects personal information on skin type, hair colour, size, height, and weight, as well as lifestyle aspects such as hobbies and activities. Personalization would allow the site to serve up targeted fashion advice plus editorial content from Seventeen and other publishing partners.
Brands such as Urban Decay, GUESS, Diesel and Steve Madden could be found on the catelogue through the fashion finder and the user could try on clothing in virtual dressing rooms.
To truly encapsulate the mall experience, you could also "shop with a friend", allowing users to talk as they compare outfits, stroll through the mall and check out the latest styles together (with a good internet connection).
Item photos via eBay and Internet Archive (the seller currently has 2 copies of this CD-ROM!, the software is also available on the Internet Archive)

Pictured: The splash screen of the original 1997 release of Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game. This would appear when you inserted the CD-ROM into your Windows 95 computer.
You can read more about the very first Fallout game here.
