#builtwith11ty #win98

I feel like my generation got "skipped" by the emulation craze.

emulation is great for like, console games, but I didn't grow up on consoles, I grew up on windows 98. it seems like retroarch and dosbox have basically solved everything from _before_ windows 98, and wine/proton are good for most stuff from the post-XP era. but the games I'm most nostalgic for -- Zoombinis, Backyard Baseball, Artrageous!... it's a bit of a pain to emulate them, right? you can sort of run them in Wine but there's so much fiddling and it feels so fragile, I had a Lutris setup on my steam deck that completely broke with a Lutris update so I don't trust Lutris anymore, which means I basically have to do all the Wine commands by hand

does anyone here have experience with this? is there a dosbox-esque "plug and play" solution for win98 CD-ROM games?

I have a Pentium 3 computer taking up space.

Convince me: should I toss it? Should I keep it?

Is it good enough to be a #retro box? Is it better than running an emulator?

Not sure how wise connecting #win98 to the internet is.

All I want to do is play Z by the Bitmap Brothers
