The Twitch streamer HandOfBlood regularly dives into the world of old games during his streams, most recently with FIFA 98: Road to World Cup. He proudly presents his burned CD of the game and plays it on a special PC with Windows 98.
Why does HandOfBlood play FIFA 98? The Twitch streamer HandOfBlood frequently plays old games in his streams, experiencing regular nostalgia moments with his viewers.
Most recently, he streamed the 1997 released “FIFA 98: Road to World Cup”. He proudly showcased his burned CD of the game. Shortly after, he uploads his video on his YouTube channel.
The game is now so old that the streamer is sure that many of his viewers don’t even know it. He literally stated that his viewers were “still fluid” when the game was released, but really this time.
A PC with Windows 98 makes the experience perfect
Where does HandOfBlood play the game? After HandOfBlood switched from his main platform YouTube to Twitch, he regularly streams all kinds of games there. Normally, he does this on his streaming PC with extremely good technology – but not when he plays really old games.
In his streaming room, there is an old PC that only runs standardly with Windows 98. This has been repurposed so that HandOfBlood can stream on it, including the poor quality, for example of the sound. This also provides a nostalgia factor for his viewers.
On this PC, he now regularly streams old games like Robin Hood or currently FIFA 98.

I was born in 85 and am watching this right now. FIFA 98 was one of the FIFA games I played a lot back then.

This cries out for a FIFA 98 tournament with Sterzik and Co. Everyone gets a team and goal anthem – let’s go
