Hi everyone

I have many games that were purchased a few years ago and some
Will and many won't run on windows Xp the back of the box states
Windows 98 only. and some of those are the ones I played
The most, does anyone know where I can purchase an old 98 system
So I may be able to play those games once again. I know this is
A hard question to answer, but I figured I would ask anyway I
relies 98 is almost extinct but I might get lucky.

Thank You
Bluto

You might try Ebay... but don't pay too much for one there and be sure the research the sellers.

Gardens put to bed for the winter. Time for some gaming!

THere are lots of private computer repair centers scattered all over that may have one. I just gave away 8 of my old computers going back to Dos. lol I guess I'm a hoarder.

We are not permitted to sell any computers on GB. Only games. I'm sorry.

eBay is probably your best bet.
If you're really lucky, you may find something on Craigslist or at a Goodwill.
But where I live, I've never seen anything except at eBay.

Watch out what you buy at eBay. Some people just put old computers on eBay, claiming they're vintage gaming machines when in fact the video is not capable of playing any Windows 98 game that requires hardware acceleration. Sometimes the eBay computers don't even include hard drives.

Ana and Jenny are both spot on Bluto; local computer repair shops in your area, eBay and don't forget Google or Amazon.Com! You'll find little businesses on-line that sell Windows 98, from their websites and/or through/from Amazon too.

I need to find a VCR my VCR/DVD combo has broken down, if I ever want to rewatch my VHS collection. I need replacement cables for old speakers (cats chewed them) so I can play my record collection.

Pretty much any garage sale should have a VHS player. They also sell them online on virtual garage sales. You have a local one here.

You can convert them to dvd's,but the problem is the money you spend for the "video capture device" you will need will be lost because you will never use it again.
