Gaming

With the help of your computer's sound and video cards and the technology of Windows 98, you can play even the most demanding computer games quickly and smoothly; even games that use 3-D graphics.

Windows 98 can run computer games you buy from the store or download from the Internet - anything from board games that have morphed into the virtual world, such as Monopoly and checkers, to highly complex computer games. When you're ready to fend off fireballs and bad guys who don't play fair, you can set up your system to play either against the computer or against someone actually sitting next to you. And if you let Internet Explorer into the mix, you can open your circle of competitors to include an opponent as close as across the street, or as far away as on the other side of the world.
