Is ME always capable of running games that run fine on W98SE but don't necessarily state they can run on ME?
I remember a number of W95 games having issues under W98 so I am wondering if similar problems existed between W98SE and ME.

I'm not aware of any title that doesn't work, and I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't.
Windows Me is still 9x.

In many ways ME is just 98SE with some features from 2000 and the XP betas thrown in.

The core is still basically a slightly updated 98se.

Good question. I can barely remember that it happened let alone which specific titles they were. I think Allied General which is a sequel to the awesome Panzer General strategy game is one of them but I may be wrong. I have a huge collection of W95/W98 games that I purchased years ago. I am going to eventually get it all out of storage as I kept all of them so I am sure as I start going through and installing them I am bound to run into a few that will have this issue as the only W9x systems that I have are W98SE and ME which I recently built.

I had problems with System Shock 2 not seeing EAX under ME, but it did under 98SE. Might've been a drivers thing though because I've seen the /opposite/ as well.
