Thank you flight rising team for making sure the website works (sans some games, ofc, ) on Opera 9.64 running on Windows 98, I cannot begin to express how much joy looking at dragons in this context gives me.

<clarification edit>this is in qemu, not on an actual machine. It's running windows 98se, and I also cheated a bit by uploading the images to imgur on the host machine rather than windows 98 (imgur did not want to load in opera D: )</clarification edit>

Oh yes I remember screens of that resolution. I never used Opera but this is still very familiar.
Those desktop icons....
Thank you

Thank you
:D This is really cool.
We really need someone to redesign FR in a 90s/early 00s style now.

you should be using netscape for real authenticity... or at least internet explorer.

Had already tried it with Netscape, neither Communicator 4.8 nor Navigator 7.2 support the https version. Using a proxy I can load it in 4.8 (with javascript off, because it freezes otherwise ), but it... doesn't look the best

Aaand as you would expect, IE doesn't do too hot either! It's arguably worse to navigate, even if it does look more flight-rising-y.
