Where do you drag all these new computers out? Seems like snes has a new toy to play almost every second week. Focus, young padawan, focus :-) Anyway, I'm not sure about any reliable Win 98 emulators. Aren't there old builds of e.g. vMac ? As for games, well which ones do you consider "obvious"? Are Bungie's titles like Marathon 2 or Myth an obvious one? To the best of my knowledge, there weren't many ports as the Mac was perceived by most PC players as a mediocre gaming machine. Neither shareware nor commercial releases did well. I think even the Bungie guys complained about this prejudice when they were showing their great hit Myth around and none of the PC gaming press was really interested in seeing it ...

I'm not sure you will find a Mac emulator that will run in Windows 98, especially since 1998 was when Apple debuted Mac OS 8.5 which ran only on PPCs. Now there were a few emulators of the Nintendo Entertainment System, but outside of managing to get Fusion going, if your laptop's specs can handle updating to Windows NT, that's when Basilisk II made it's entrance, but again expect things to not run that great. Your best bet is simply to run the console game emulators of the time like NES or maybe MAME, or simply use the Windows 98 software of the time. You're best bet is simply to focus on software that runs on your notebook PC. What I don't know is if there's other collections of vintage Windows software outside of the usual spots, like the Web Archive: https://archive.org/details/classicpcgames

The early (build 142) Basilisk II should run very nicely on this Pentium II under Windows 98se. You can download a copy from E-Maculation - https://www.emaculation.com/doku.php/basilisk_ii Under the heading Historic Versions - "pre-jit Build 142 for Windows" I used this version of Basilisk back when I had a Pentium 166, it ran perfectly even on that spec, so a PII notebook should be fine. I also still use build 142 on an XP machine. It's too good a version that has so many niceties which never made it into the later JIT builds. If you have a SCSI card for your PII, you can format a SCSI disk as HFS and run build 142 natively on that. Although a SCSI card in a notebook is unlikely, I guess. Otherwise the standard .hfv etc drive container files are fine.
