I'm planning to create a virtual machine to play games on Japanese Windows 98; you need to program games to play on that machine to pass the time.If anyone has any recommendations for software applications and games to use on this machine, I'm open to suggestions, and I'll test them first on my virtual machine that I have on my phone.
I'm rusty about remembering which games exactly are the best for that time period. Plenty of classics, I suppose: Command and Conquer up to at least red alert 2, age of empires 1 and 2, Warcraft 1 and 2, Myth 1 and 2 (These are all rts or a rtt in the case of the last one), Might & Magic 6, 7 and 8, which make up together a connected trilogy, although you don't actually need a virtual machine to play any of those.
I just started playing Cookie's Bustle which requires a virtual machine, there's these old mech simulators called Heavy Gear which I haven't played because they require virtual machine....
You can check this page https://www.myabandonware.com/ it's unfortunately missing a sort by date function, so you gotta pick search by criteria, choose windows in platform, and check year by year by picking the year starting from 95.

Windows 98 is a bit of a losing proposition on VM, though -- why not stretch it a little a get yourself a clean copy of XP instead? It'd fight you a lot less.
Not worth it. Japanese games form that era were most of the time ported from NEC PC-98. In Japan, there isn't that "90's Windows PC games" culture. It's better to play them in the original format and install Windows XP with japanese unicode to play PC only japanese games from that time. That's what I did and it works perfectly fine.
Não vale a pena. Os jogos japoneses daquela época eram, em sua maioria, adaptações do NEC PC-98. No Japão, não existe essa cultura de "jogos de PC com Windows dos anos 90". É melhor jogá-los no formato original e instalar o Windows XP com Unicode japonês para jogar jogos japoneses exclusivos de PC daquela época. Foi o que eu fiz e funciona perfeitamente.
O Windows 98 é uma proposta um tanto desvantajosa em máquinas virtuais, então por que não tentar um pouco mais e conseguir uma cópia limpa do XP? Ele daria muito menos trabalho.
I was trying to remember what games I specifically played during the Windows 98 era, and realized that besides some stuff that's already been mentioned like Diablo 2 and Starcraft, this was about where I started playing a lot of emulators.
I was going to say I played a lot of The Sims, but that might have been Windows 2000. Also, I put a ton of hours into Daggerfall, but there are significantly better ways of playing that than a virtual machine, unless you really want to original super-buggy presentation.
