What games would you recommend for windows 98

I have a retro PC built around playing on windows 98 and XP, I already have some games on windows 98 that work fantastic, but I want more games to put in my collection Wich games would be the best of the best to play, take in mind that I don't have a graphic card yet so high performance games won't work very well (I have the Janes flight simulation games original but they don't work for now) I am Looking for games that are a must to play, some underrated ones and also if they exist, any incremental or optimization games like Factorio and also any tower defense that's good, thanks

Doubt with playing games without the cd

I'm trying to play the house of the dead and the game itself has no problems, but I don't want to use the cd every time, and neither to mount and image, I'm looking to just had my games on a folder and I already found a lot of solutions for my other ones, but this games just doesn't let me, I tried modifying the paths, installing old no cd patch, but I just can't get it to work without the cd, is there a way to do it or I just have to play it the old way.

Pick up this bad boy from the side of a railroad

I find this and another PC that I turner into a nas while helping a friend cleaning his backyard, whe live just a few meters from railroad tracks and some apparently tossed 2 good computers aside, I'm running 98se and xp on this.

Specs:

Optiplex gx260

Intel pentium 4 with integrated graphics

512 gb ram

32 gb storage

Sound card

Working cd player( replaced for a dvd player)

Working floppy drive

I'm working on putting games and stuff so I haven't put to much effort on cleaning it from the outside (on the inside was almost impeccable but I replaced the thermal paste and cleaned it a little bit)

And also, if someone is more knowledgeable, what videos card should I use, as I said Im running a dual boot ok it with 98se and windows XP, if there's no good option I'm happy with only using the 98se part

I'm new to home servers and tried for a long time, finally it's working, it's more for a test than anything because I'm using an old 2005 Olidata PC, and so far it looks like it would work

So I'm repairing an old PC, mainly to use as a storage device, the thing is that this darn thing don't let me go to the bio, the only things that appear are the windows boot options, and a thing called grub4dos 0.4.4 Wich I don't understand, the PC is an old Olidata, the operating system is windows 7 ultimate, is there a way to enter the bios?

So, I rescued some old PCs, one will be turn into a nas, and other I'm planning to use for old pc games, that the dell Optiplex gx260, looking online I find that it support max 2gb ram, but the doubt I have is of it will support a 2gb ram stick or if the ram is 2gb per slot, I want to buy it more ram because it only have 1 gb ram and as I said I want it for old games.
