What about installing Windows 98 in VirtualBox and run the games off of
that? Of course if there are 3d games then it might have issues?<br>

I assume boot from cd and run
mkfs.vat /dev/hda

<pre wrap="">try using wine.
to install wine, type:
sudo apt-get install wine
i definately do not recommend installing windows 98 at all. Ubuntu is
more stable then windows 98 and more secure as well.

with wine, not with out a lot of fiddling. As long as it's not
connected to the outside world it's not a problem.
