Offler Posted February 20, 2009 Author Posted February 20, 2009 I bought Diablo II: LOD and even Warcraft I in store last year . to see it in full CD version (since in 1994 i had 386sx without cdrom) was delightful
cdoublejj Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 any one tried steam lately if i had a running 98 system i would try. maybe it's still "Steam Engine (reason - artificial block, two missing exports)"
Tripredacus Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Yes this thread is old, if Offler is still here, I have some input.- some of the games listed in Group 1 were available when Win98 was out. They include:DiabloCommand & ConquerDungeon KeeperStarcraftAge of EmpiresDune 2000CommandosCivilization IITomb RaiderTomb Raider IINeed For SpeedNeed For SPeed 2MotoGP- some of the games listed aren't full games, but mods. If you count these, why not have a separate listing for Oblivion (pre-Shivering Isles) patched with Oldblivion? Here are the ones that are mods:Starcraft Broodware (mod)Quake III Team Arena (mod)Half Life TFC (mod)Half Life CS (mod)If you are going to list Starcraft Broodwar, why not list Diablo Hellfire?
farfigs11 Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 I don't consider myself a big gamer, but recently I wanted to see what my laptop could run in 98se with or without KernelEx. I bought Far Cry and later Far Cry 2. The Far Cry that I got is a "SoldOut Software" package which says Vista compatible. It installs but doesn't run-it just kinda fizzles out after a couple seconds with no error, although it's suppose to be win98 compatible. It installs a version 1.4 patch for the game. I see in earlier posts here Far Cry has worked in 98SE. Has anyone else had this issue? Is it because I have an updated installation DVD aimed at Vista compatible? Far Cry 2 installs (set to KernelEx WinXp mode ) and eventually crashes with an error when it tries to update directX before the installation is over. It has C++2005 SP1 package and dotnetframework 2.0 on the DVD-the same versions that can be installed in 98se. I didn't realize when I bought Far Cry 2 that it needs to "phone home" to unlock the game. It was giving me a "security" error when i tried to run the exe on DVD. So I guess this one's out of the picture
jumper Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Far Cry 1 should work without KernelEx, so disable it on the main app. If the patch needs help, then enable KernelEx on just that one file (or those files). Far Cry 2 can use DX9 or DX10. DX9 should be on the DVD, DX10 is a download. Look for an installer option to use DX9.
