Found a port of a game I like and wanted to check it out but it’s Windows 98 and I know Windows 10 has shitty compatibility options that never work. Really don’t want to go about setting up a virtual machine if I can get away with it.

Depends what it is? A lot of Win98 games can be run in modern windows. Some have patches n stuff.

Here’s the pcgamingwiki article on it. It’s got a translation patch so I’m wondering if that updates compatibility with win 10. I’ll have to try this out tomorrow.
Wife says it runs fine, but she prefers the Playstation version lol. It’s also on Super Famicom. Should work okay.
Oh damn your wife is a wizardry head? That’s cool! Yeah I figure I’d just play the PSX version if this failed but I wanted some midi music goodness.
Oh shit nice, if you’re not using Coolsoft Midi for that ya should be
She’s into it tho yaw.
This is sick, I was thinking about playing the OG releases of Final Fantasy VII and VIII for PC with the midi tracks and I will use this. Tell your wife she’s cool, Wizardry really doesn’t have fans in the west anymore, it’s all JP otaku into it still.
Will do
Yeah the rights kerfuffle is alarming, they’ve really bungled the Wizardy series in the anglosphere, like now and then you’d get a Tales of the Forsaken Land come out and get some goodwill, but then they wouldn’t promote it or follow up. Sad tbh, big guy series.
lol, I get it, I get the joke; wizardry: lil’ gamin’; I like it, it’s very clever
