Well, buy the game, and then test it. If it works, cool, play and enjoy. If it doesn't, simply return it for a refund and you didn't lose anything.

Either way, you win.

I tried to run the game on Windows ME. It refused to start the installation program. I expect you'll have the same result under Win98. :(

Yup it either won't start at all or you'll get an error.

You might check the publisher's website to see if the issue is discussed in any forums, there.

Well, the system requierments does say WinXP (on my box), so I wouldn't hold my breath for it being runable at all under Win98. The techonolgies of the windows versions aren't the same, so doubt it would be possible if indeed it is made for WinXP.

You might look around for a wordy something called the Microsoft Windows Application Compatibility Toolkit. It does let you run a number of games that are otherwise incompatible with various flavors of the GUI. It's free and can be downloaded online, but that doesn't mean it will work in your case.
