Man, I bet they were so bummed that they’re stuck on Windows 95 then.
I was in a similar boat. Got our first family PC with windows 95 like 4 months before 98 released. Which kept me from being a PC gamer until i was later into my teens.
Well it’s not that it “kept” me from it, but I seem to remember the couple of PC gaming friends that I had, had games that I couldn’t run as they seemed to me (with like 30 years of memories obfuscating) to only run on Windows 98?
But I mean honestly that could’ve been my parents giving me excuses and stuff. Idk.
I didn’t have access to News and stuff about upcoming PC stuff back then so I could only go off what others told me haha
I think it says 98. IE4.0 wasn’t released until 97, same for Pentium MMX.
Heck I think you’re right.

either way, how common were DVD drives in 98?
Not very common at all; you needed a separate MPEG2 card to decode the DVD as the CPU wasn’t fast/strong enough.
How did windows 95 keep you from gaming? That’s when I started. 98 wasn’t that big of a chance to my memory.
