Hover! is a video game that was included on CD-ROM versions of the Microsoft Windows 95 operating system. It was a showcase for the advanced multimedia capabilities available on personal computers at the time. It is still available from Microsoft and will run on all of Microsoft's 95-compatible operating systems, from Windows NT 3.51, up to and including Windows 7 and 8. Additionally, Hover! will run in WINE on Unix-like systems. The game is a combination of bumper cars and capture the flag.

On October 2, 2013, Microsoft released an online version of Hover in collaboration with an independent developer. It is available at www.hover.ie. This version has a touch interface and 3D graphics. The game is optimized for Internet Explorer 11, but will work on any WebGL-enabled browser.
