Gaming/Internet gaming

As with many things, the face of gaming changed when the Internet came along. Traditionally you played computer games two ways: against your computer or against the person sitting next to you. You can still play that way, of course, but the ways in which you can play games have expanded, and Windows 98 lets you be a part of it. Via sites like the Microsoft Internet Gaming Zone, you can electronically meet people from all around the world to play computer games with them.

The DirectX features built into Windows 98 give you the same high-quality gaming experience over the Internet that you get when you play games on your hard disk with Windows 98.
