Windows 98 - now in the browser

Enthusiasts run old games, programs and operating systems in the browser. At the same time, the work that is required for the implementation of some ideas is very laborious and laborious, not to mention how much time is needed in some cases. To run Windows 98 in a browser, it took developers as much as four years. But it was worth it - now a completely working version of this operating system is launched in the browser.

The work was done in Javascript, the source code contains several thousand lines of code. Now users nostalgic for old OS versions can enjoy working with old-school programs, including games.

It is possible to boot from a CD or floppy disk (images are required). This means that Tribes or Half Life 1 can be played in a browser! True, the number of games that do run in the browser is limited. The same Rollercoaster Tycoon did not start (but you can try).



The browser also works, albeit with known compatibility issues. Of course, it can’t do without problems, but it’s worth remembering that this is an emulator. However, it works a lot, so I recommend trying the system in action.
