You can see the guest's virtual CD drive to the host PC's physical CD drive, then game CD's will go into the guest Windows 98.

You mean the Win98 FAQs? A virtual CD works the same way no matter which guest OS you install, so you won't find more than fleeting mentions of that aspect in a guest OS FAQ. Look instead at section 3.7 "Configuring Guest Machines | Storage Settings" in the user manual.
