OZ Retro Gamer note: "We are halfway through the 2022 AFL season, so that only gives me more incentive to go back and replay the severely flawed, but oh-so-nostalgic - "AFL 98", which was released solely on PC CD-ROM in 1997, and is playable these days only on older operating systems like Windows 95 through to XP. This was EA Sports' first (of only two) attempts at an AFL game during the late nineties. And only the second of any note, other than Beam Software's "Aussie Rules Footy" for the NES".

"Following their heart-stopping first loss last week in the West, the Hawks travel back to the familiarity of Waverley to take on the in-form Sydney Swans. Will they be able to bounce back to 4-1?"
