I say "technically" because a lot of really late 98SE games required Direct X9, which while you can install that on 98se. I'll admit, I was shocked when someone on Vogons mentioned that the original Far Cry could technically run on 98SE. So I don't have to look them up again for this thread: Vampire Bloodlines was a good one that went a little under the radar. Other good Star Wars were Jedi Outcast and Academy and. Other big ones I'd consider XP for would be Fallout 3 and Oblivion IV, both on console also, but really PC games IMO.
