    YES. It's even more awesome when you break out Commander Keen.

    Windows 98 is fail, install and run Windows 7 and use patches to play old games, or even a build of Linux and WINE

    I've just started playing Gran Turismo 4 through a PS2 emulator - come back to modern versions of Windows and you can too

    You could also setup a Virtual machine and do this.

    I run win 98 in a virtual machine so i can play Red Alert.. BEST C&C ever IMHO

    Where is the options for "HELL YES!"?

    Seriously though hope you either used a hell old computer, or a VM. I did this recently to place Dark Omen

    Ew, Windows 98...how I much I miss it.

    *was mostly a Mac person back then, but also used PCs, and went straight from 95B to XP SP1 on the PC side, skipping 98, 98SE and ME*

    How is that more awesome? I loved windows 98 but it ain't anything on XP.

    VM's are the way of the future and are so much more flexible than having an old workstation to play an old game.

    C&C did rock though, and there is a new pack out so you can play the old ones on your brand new machines anyways.

    i meant it that he went and got a computer, installed it, found all the drivers JUST to play the game... that's love right there plus you get the whole mood of 98, its all fond memories

    I agree Morton...I've got an old Pentium 200 at home loaded up with Windows 95 that I use for old games and stuff...sure, I could just load up 95 in a VM on my 2.8 Ghz Core 2 Duo....but it wouldn't have the charm of that little beige minitower, with its dinky little 14" CRT and tinny "multimedia speakers".
