PB-DOS Shell Revived: 5th Aniversary Edition

PB-DOS Shell is the first version of ProgressbarOS in the Progressbar lineup. It is based on MS-DOS 5.0 and MS-DOS Shell both released in 1991.

This is the only ProgressbarOS that you have to move the Progressbar using a joystick.

Every time you start the game after startup, it will show the message: PB-DOS Shell does not support mouse, you need to use keys to move the progress bar. That is easy and fun!

The Adept Logo's "Adept" label is difficult to see.

This is one of two ProgressbarOS releases to not have a media player. The second one is Progressbar Chitown.

It is possible to get this operating system fifth in the mobile version. In the PC version, you can get it fifteenth, as you have to get a whopping 14 professional labels, making this operating system impossible to get before installing Progressbar 10 first.

If this was the earliest version of the PC version of Progressbar95, it would've been impossible to collect Collector of classics before Full deck. (On a side note, however, this would not be worth it anyway)

This is the only system where you will not able to customize your cursor.

According to most people, this is the worst OS - 33.3% of the 9 people voted for PB-DOS Shell when they are asked by EpicAlexisMaxwell to vote for the worst OS. (This does not count the poll host.)
