Windowz 98 NetTowns Edition

Posted by Kolumbo - 1 month ago


hows it going bros my name is pewdiepie


last night, or rather this morning, we squeezed out Windowz 98 NetTowns Edition - a sequel/prequel of sorts to last year's Windowz XP 2012 Professional!


lots of stuff is missing right now, as getting it all functional on time was pretty wacky. there's a pretty hefty update coming Monday to make up for the missing stuff, though.


with the update you can expect mostly desktop/Windows stuff - software, games, etc. and just a tiny bit of extra internet content - there's enough of that already anyway! for now, there's over 70 websites and over 100 pages in total to explore via the browser - have fun! OH YEAH there's also some games (in the game) that you can play, and even compete for high scores with fellow NG users!


you can check out the game here:



the meat of the game is exploring the fake internet contained within - and there's a lot, some shit's funny, some isn't. a bunch of websites with solid variety, and of course all over the place presentation/quality wise. basically, it's a lil GeoCities full of schizo ramblings, personal blogs, fansites, and all the other shit you might expect from something like that.


here's what people have to say about it:


"It seems like an exercise in quantity over quality"

- Kwing


"It's tiresome and I refuse to play it"

- fuckoffasshole


"I did not expect to read Everybody Loves Raymond fanfiction..."

- Void


"I showed this to my mum"

- CappyCatll


"One of the best things I've seen all year"

- BlueMonday1984


"You'll be hearing from my lawyers"

- Bill Gates


and you can check out last year's game here:



thanks for reading, and playing (if you do)

see you very soon!

I'm not joking if I say this is one of the best games I've played in 2025 so far, because besides being funny as hell and giving you lots of cool info about many aspects of 90s, it also gave me strong nostalgia because I lived the 90s, they were my childhood. Thanks for making it! I will review properly once I figured out last four medals

So happy to hear that! Hope you had/have fun reading all the wacky stuff we crammed in there - and looking forward to your review!
Thanks for playing!

@Kolumbo Minus the fanfiction (sorry I'm not a fan of them XD) I read almost everything especially in the political part and paranormal section. Of course I had fun experimenting through the game. You are welcome^^

Hahaha hell yeah, best categories!!!

awesum!! i'll check dis out lat0r

Ayy hell yeah!!

I can't even imagine what's next, Windows Vista???

Windowz 3.2

@Kolumbo Windows Vista Home Premium sounds cool lol.

i played through the Windows 98 last night, and noticed performance issues when you’re viewing websites.
whenever you click into a lot of sublinks, or if you are viewing a website w/ a lot of text, it’ll noticeably lag much.
i’m unsure if it’s Adobe Flash being overwhelmed, or whatever, but i thought i should let you know if you hadn’t already been aware of this.

have a nice day :)

long pages being laggy makes sense, i'm pretty sure i know what's causing the slowdowns (though they don't happen on all machines, for example - my main PC doesn't suffer 'em, but i do get em on my laptop) but sadly im not sure if i'll be able to fix that.. will try some stuff for the pending update, but no promises

it's a flash thing - where textboxes stop rendering after a certain point - so when it comes to the long pages there's A LOT of textboxes (some, like the Raymond fanfics, have literally every single letter in its own textbox) and flash doesn't really like that either.

thanks for playing!
