PC-98 is a very special machine.

It looks like an ordinary PC, but everything in it needs to be compatible with NEC PC-98 standard.

- DOS for PC-98

- Windows for PC-98

- DirectX for PC-98

- NEC mouse

- NEC keyboard

etc.

It is quite intriguing at first, because everything seems to be normal, but everytime you try to install some software/hardware not NEC validated, you take the risk to run into errors.

PC-98 has tons of games, mainly H-games. But you have to remember that not all games function on all PC-98 hardware. PC-98 needs years of knowledge and effort to be perfectly understood. Don't start this if you don't want to spend hours and lot of money on retro games. You will also need some skills in Japanese language.
