I'm so excited about this and thanks for sharing. I wonder what magic was involved to get it to work in W10.
I've been working IRL and had little time to actually closely look at anything.
I did immediately look at the LS 98 file structure as my first thought was it may be possible to get LS 1999 and 2000 working as well. There is a lot of stuff GOG did. I will have to look it over carefully but there are registry entries, a bat file executed and ran a bunch of things on install, basically, it was complicated. I will still have a look but GOG will have been given information a user simply cannot get hold of. Looking at what was done, I'd say the user will need this info to get the other versions running.
I haven't used LS 98 in the past but it was on the cards and I'm very excited to see it released. LS 1999 had changes, not sure what, will investigate, 2000 was like the final tweak of the LS series.
Even if the other games are never released, LS 98 is a great LS option to live with. I will have to give it a good run. I hope the cup physics are same or very similar to Links 2000 because they are brilliant. The other features like tournament mode etc LS 98 has them all. The only thing it might not have is a 3 click option. I think it's only 2 click.

I picked up Links 98 today. I seem to be having some random, periodic lockups of the app. Do you have any settings recommendations in and out of the game? It's great to see random conditions and fog again! :)
As mentioned above, I've had no real time to look at it yet. The one thing I did immediately notice is if you set the animated flag in course options, it doesn't save and needs to be set again next time you open the game.
This behavior is identical to Links 2000 on Win 7. If you ran the animated flag option on, certain courses also crashed the game.
It may be the same with LInks 98? Did you have the animated flag checked? Does a crashing course still crash if you turn the animated flag off?
