The game cradle of rome is some times listed as being able to run under win98 the version i have (dutch version) however does not run under windows 98 due to the following missing api's

shell32.dll

SHGetFolderPathA

ole32.dll

CoWaitForMultipleHandles

It does run correctly with kernelx though.

Can any of these games run just fine without using Kernel, just curious?

Maybe i am blind, but i didn't see this game listed:

Code of Honor 2 Conspiracy island

But it works just fine, make sure you don't disable any of the options in the option menu in the config file tho.

Rank 1:

The House of the Dead 3 (SEGA/DirectX 9.0b)

please guys add rank of the game when are you writing it here, else i am not able to sort it

Rank 2:

Flatout 2 (shouldn't run on Win98, but works fine, Kernel patching only)

forgot some

Rank 1

Sim Farm

Sim Earth

Sim City 2000

Sim City 3000 Unlimited

Operation Flashpoint Coldwar Crisis

Warsow

Rank 2:

Phantasy Star Universe: Ambition of the Illuminus

(SEGA / DirectX 9.0C / although error message appears, it runs when KernelEx v0.3.6 installed, but CTRL and Shift key are locked, and no CG movie playback)

Phantasy Star Universe

(SEGA / DirectX 9.0C / although error message appears, it runs with updated DirectX 9.0C, but CTRL and Shift key are locked, and no CG movie playback)

It was one of my favorites, turn-based war game:

Rank 1: Age of Wonders

Rank 1: Age of Wonders II

star wars empire at war will work if you install it on xp or vista then copy all its files on to win me hd

I have not tested it under 98 SE/ME.

HTH

Thank you, I already knew about that one. Sadly it requires a minimum videocard that I cannot find in stores anymore: nVidia 6800FX. Not even 7300FX is available around. The machine I could build for it only has a 5700FX and it threw an error related to Direct3D (under XP-SP3).

I'd bet my life on neither of Legend, Anniversary and Underworld working under 9x.

Sorry to hear that.

Have you tried some obscure web sites for those old video cards?

Something like this [thru Google Product/Shopping search engine]:

About TR:

Eidos is working on an expansion for Underworld.

Thank you but I'm unable to buy online so I have to stick to real stores, be them first-hand or second-hand. I'm also short of money so it'll have to wait for a while.

Come to think about it, older games are much better; storyline is solid and can take days or weeks to complete. Nowadays' games are over in a couple hours tops, as if they were movies. Oh wait... they actually are! All recent games are half made of movies supposed to bind the chapters, blah-blah; a lame excuse for cutting down the gameplay to the point one'd rather lay back on the couch, have a beer and watch a movie.

O, tempora...

any thing above 2004 and mabye 2005 2006 sucks lol!
