No Win98 DOOM 3 [Jul 27, 2004, 9:23 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
In today's (unusually late) DOOM 3 newsbit, a post on
PlanetDOOM confirms from
Activision that DOOM 3 will not run under Windows 98 or Win98SE, but that
Windows XP or Windows 2000 will be required.
Windows 98 is from 19-fucking-98.
Actually, I'm pretty sure it was available towards the end of 1997 (though not widely in brick-n-mortar retail outlets).
I was running Windows 2000 in 1999, and Windows XP in 2001. Granted, in the fall months, but still.
I kind of feel bad for people not running Win98, Win98Se, or (god forbid) WinME. NOT because they're running an "older" OS, but because those versions of windows were as buggy as my old dorm.
Seriously, those versions of Windows have etched "blue screen of death" and "windows is unstable" in solid granite, when current products by MS are actually pretty stable.
