        Might just be easier to spin up a VM of 98 at this point, good hunting to you though.

    Encarta cost $395 upon release

    I don’t know the software prices of the 1990s, but this seems absurdly expensive.

      I think they were pricing it in comparison to paper encyclopedia sets, which were quite expensive

    Encarta 95 actually runs on Windows 3.11, just in case anyone was wondering. Not like anyone asked LOL!
