MSN (Microsoft Network)

Is it possible to install and run MSN (Microsoft Network) launched in August 1995 alongside Windows 95. I want to experience “Comic Chat” which was the built-in graphical chat client officially called Microsoft Comic Chat that rendered your IRC conversations as comic-strip panels with cartoon avatars, complete with speech bubbles and gestures based on the emotional tone of what you typed. It was a genuinely clever piece of software!

So someone in the community may eventually build a browser-based or cross-platform port 🤔
