I have a Windows 98 VM on VMware Player. It was converted from Virtual PC and then Virtualbox (dropped Virtualbox due to horrible Win9x support)....

Last post

You should probably upgrade it with maybe Windows 2000 or ME.

I agree with you

Try Fallout 1+2. and possibly GTA 1,2, hell, maybe 3!

GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas are better off with either Win 2000 or XP.
