Microsoft Windows 98 was an operating system used on a majority of personal computers from 1998 to 2000. Because of this, there are a variety of games available to play on Windows 98, but are incompatible with later versions of Windows. If you have Windows XP or higher, you have access to a "Compatibility Mode" that allows your computer to play those games. Activating compatibility mode is a simple procedure.
Right-click the file that you usually click on when you are trying to start a game.
Select the "Properties" option in the drop-down menu.
Select the "Compatibility" tab, then check the "Windows 98" box.
Select the proper video mode for your game under "Display Settings."
Select the "Apply" button to save your settings, and select "OK."
Double-click on your game's file to begin playing the game.
