Free Windows 98 Games
This game allows you to make your own Windows 98 error art and more!
So I recently resurrected an old Pentium III laptop with a NeoMagic MagicMedia 256XL 6mb graphics chip and Yamaha YMF-744. It may not be the best machine in the world, but I was just wondering what games of the era (around 1997 to 2002 or so) would be the best for seeing just what exactly this hardware can run.

Windows 98 is a continuation of the Windows 95 product. The major change is an insanely heavy focus on web integration. The help system, many applications, and even the desktop are redesigned to make use of Internet Explorer. Windows 98 runs on top of the same 'MS-DOS 7.1' with FAT32 support as Windows 95 OSR2, and it includes support for USB. Windows 98 had two major releases - a First Edition and a Second Edition. It was followed up by Windows ME.

Installation instructions
Windows 98 Game Download
Hardware requirements can be bypassed in the setup with the undocumented /nm setup switch. This will allow systems as old as the 80386 with 8MB of RAM to run Windows 98 (although this will be far from optimal)
Important: Only the OEM Full version is bootable. All others require an appropriate Windows 98 Boot Floppy.
To speed up installation, and to avoid numerous problems, copy the win98 folder to a folder on the hard drive (such as c:win98) and then run setup from there.
