You’re better off using a PC or emulator that runs real Windows 98 instead of this crap!
Windows 98 is a bootleg port of Microsoft’s Windows 98 (codenamed Memphis while in development) operating system for the Famicom, made by Chinese developer Bei Tongfang (Chinese: 北同方), most likely released sometime in the early 2000s.
General[]
The conversion is somewhat accurate on a superficial level, and seems to exist to demonstrate what features the real Windows 98 has as oddly, none of the programs actually function properly. Even basic features such as the calculator and the volume slider do not function, (the latter due to the complete lack of sound) and unlike most bootleg OSes developed for the Famicom none of the Family BASIC programs are included.
Why It Sucks[]
- Most programs in this bootleg such as Internet Explorer, MS-DOS Prompt, and some folders in the cartridge are unfunctional.
- The BIOS in this version of Windows 98 is fake.
- 8-bit photos left in the hard drive such as Pikachu, a camel, a math sum, as well as a snowman and many more.
- No sound at all, this is what causes many programs to not function well if not at all.
- Most of this bootleg is in Chinese, meaning that there is only a little bit of English.
- Leftover programs also don’t function such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Photoshop.
- This is a game that doesn’t qualify as a game, as in real life, Windows 98 is an operating system, not an actual game.
Redeeming Qualities[]
- The graphics are faithful to the real Windows 98.
- The color palette looks really good, just like in real Windows 98.
- The Soho homepage on Internet Explorer is based on a real page that still exists, you can visit it here: http://www.sohu.com/

Still waiting for the update. I hope they add a PowerPoint program. I need it for some of my classes.

You can use it to fool small children. That’s the most useful aspect of it.

HOW DID SOMEONE MAKE THIS? I don’t know any game possible to hack to create this sorcery AT ALL!

Although this is pirated, it looks very good, but there’s only one website you can go on in this NES game :/

| I feel like the purpose for these os on cartridge bootlegs are probably just for practice. I also like to think of them as «McDonalds» toys in the software world. |

| I still wonder what exactly the point of this is. It’s not functional in any way, and it doesn’t seem like it even be useful as an educational tool. |

| This has got to be one of the most interesting bootleg NES games. There are, like, sooooo many NES hacks and not as many SNES or SEGA hacks. |

| I find it funny that this was actually made. They’ll bootleg anything, I guess. Also, «Hey! Wanna buy Windows 98 for your NES? It works just like the PC version!» |

| It is a chinese bootleg game for the famicom. It has very few features, none of which work correctly, and are only superficially similar to an actual operating system. So in a way yes, and in most ways no. |

Windows 98 is a bootleg port of Microsoft’s Windows 98 (codenamed Memphis while in development) operating system for the Famicom, made by Chinese developer Bei Tongfang, most likely released sometime in the early 2000s.

Even basic features such as the calculator and the volume slider do not function, (the latter due to the complete lack of sound) and unlike most bootleg OSes developed for the Famicom none of the Family BASIC programs are included.
The fake BIOS screen at the start says that the system date in the setup utility is 08/18/2002, practically meaning that this had to have been developed on or after that date.
The Sohu homepage featured in the game appears to resemble the homepage featured on the real site which is still available.
One of the pictures in the shared folders refers to the games Picaclick and Pikadance on the Pokémon 4-in-1. Another picture refers to the map of Banana Prince.
