Hi,
Lately I was just thinking about that... is there any REAL reason (gaming related) to keep a Win9X machine?
I know its just fun to build and run older games on the operating system they were designed for and that running them on newer computers doesn't have the same "feel". But if you just want to have a main machine to be able to play all the games regardless of having to resort to patches, emulators or source ports, is it really needed?
Personally, I only know two games that really need to have Windows 98 for: Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure and Earthworm Jim Special Edition. They use a very specific rendering API which does not work well on any Windows after XP (full screen doesn't work), are there others?
What are your opinions on the subject?
