    Windows 98 isn't that old, some games at Best Buy in the $10 area are Windows 98 compatible.

    As for driving games, I don't really play those so now sure what a good one would be.

    Puzzle games.  I like Jewel Quest, Mario games which are all available to download from CNET.com, just don't install the toolbars for some of those games. They play really well in Virtual PC, so on an actual Windows 98 machine they should work really well.

    There is another option and that is console emulation.  Turn Windows 98 into an Atari or NES, etc.  A good place to go for that is http://www.emulator-zone.com/.

    There are plenty of car or adventure games for Win98. I have quite a few. A good place to search is eBay. There are other sites which we can't talk about on here.  ;)

    Try Populous: The Beginning or Zeus: Master of Olympus. They work great with a Win 98 system.

      I good place to look for older but free games is Home of the Underdogs. Just Google the name. They have a lot of abandonware.
      Racing games - Colin McCrae series, Need for Speed series and Geoff Crammond's Formula 1 series if you like F1 Simulaters.
      Adventure Games - There are so many good ones, you could try some of the earlier LucusArts games.
