A retro gamer shared a video showing how he managed to run Windows 98 on an Xbox Series S console. This operating system has already appeared on the most recent Microsoft consoles, following one user who previously ran Windows 98 on the Xbox Series X.
Since its release in 2020, Microsoft has praised the Xbox Series S as a cheaper alternative to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X for next-gen games. The Xbox Series S's ease of use for gamers has been a major selling point for the company.
Modern Vintage Gamer's quest is to recreate the Xbox Series S as a retro Windows 98 gaming PC. He performed community-developed games on the console, while also showing footage of classic PC games like Half-Life and Unreal launching on the Xbox Series S, as well as some performance metrics.
As time goes on, gamers' fondness for retro games grows. It's good that games like this exist to allow them to turn back time on current hardware, since it's a great way to preserve old games that might be lost over time. Atari recently announced a box set of ten extremely rare games for the Atari 2600.
No matter how much effort it takes, it's always exciting to see gamers return to original retro games. Sometimes it's better to play the original. It makes it easier to forgive old rules, which many remasters do not do.
