[[Category:Total DOS Collection (TDC)]] '''[[:Category:Total DOS Collection (TDC)|The TDC Index]]''' Misc notes on games that were interesting, weird or require some explanation. ==1990== * 4D Sports - Driving v1.1 r901219 (1990)(Mindscape International Ltd.)

[Simulation, Racing - Driving].zip - 2x720, no source found. matches TRSI scene release. SDTITLE.PVS is earlier and shows 4D Sports: DRIVING™ * 4D Sports - Tennis [b1][h1] (1990)(Mindscape, Inc.) [Sports].zip - doesn't actually say 4d sports tennis on the title screen, and has a huge cracked by mr coolduude graffiti * 4r1 (Zh) [h1] (1990)(Soft-World) [Strategy].zip - Hope I've got the title right. Not sure where this came from or what it is called. Graffiti to say hacked by mr cool dude on intro. * A-10 Tank Killer v1.1 (1990)(Dynamix, Inc.) [Simulation][!].zip - 2x720k disk version. Sourced from known good KFX/IMA floppy images. Also matched IMA set from r09.net and Gruby collection with the exception of the timestamp on disk1 label. * A-10 Tank Killer- Simulation System Module #1 [a1] (1990)(Dynamix, Inc.) [Simulation, Addon].zip - slightly different readme files, no directory structure. Source unknown. * A-10 Tank Killer- Simulation System Module #1 [a2][h1] (1990)(Dynamix, Inc.) [Simulation, Addon].zip - Source unknown/scene release. rather different version, all readme files changed, hacked readme.000. Includes SSM35.EXE, missing hints.txt even though the readme files reference it. * A-10 Tank Killer- Simulation System Module #1 [a3] (1990)(Dynamix, Inc.) [Simulation, Addon].zip - source unknown. Yet another variation of the readme files. * Airstrike USA (1990)(Spotlight Software) [Action] - crack:

* Airstrike USA [b1][h1] (1990)(Spotlight Software) [Action].zip - Bad Crack: some letters missed from smaller font. Not sure why this one isn't in the junk pile. * Adventures of Pioneer-girl Ksenya (Ua) [a1] (1990)(Insight Corp.) [Action].zip - different set of main EGA files. * Alien Block (異形方塊) (En)(Zh) (1990)(Softstar Information Co., Ltd.) [Action, Strategy, Puzzle].zip - runs quite fast in DOSBox, so lower the overall cpu cycles to ~1000 * Alpha Waves [h1][b1] (1990)(Infogrames) [Action, Strategy].zip - Hacked title screen, EGA only. May be an early prototype version? * Ante-Up at the Friday Night Poker Club r900328 (1990)(ComputerEasy) [Strategy, Cards].zip - Unknown source, no floppy images found. crack:

Also claims to be a "revised" version 1.5. It does indeed appear to be a different build. * B.A.T. [a1] (1990)(Ubi Soft Entertainment Software) [Adventure, Role-Playing (RPG)]. - compressed .com file, otherwise identical * Back to the Future Part II (1990)(Image Works) [Action].zip - sourced from tgod 2677, but that disk image is fake so not available in TDC. Appears to be sourced from 700 Classic Games (Ru scene distro). Is a different build: no copy protection and no ability to select no sound. * Bad Blood v2.3 (1990)(ORIGIN Systems, Inc.)

Source unknown, has INSTALL.BAT instead of INSTALL.EXE. Title screen is Berenstain Bears Learn to Count but if it's like the non [a1] it comes from a disk with the different name. Perhaps a 360k version? * Berlin 1948 (Installer) [a1] (1990)(Rainbow Arts Software GmbH) [Adventure].zip - sourced from 720k IMA set, from april of 1990, earliest known version. Has different options and shows "BEEM TO PINR:" and then acts up if not entering a number. Possibly a demo or early debug/incomplete build? * Beverly Hills Cop [h1] (1990)(Tynesoft Computer Software) [Action, Racing - Driving].zip - hacked, graffiti by THG. Better copies via NewRisingSun are available in archive. * Battle Chess II- Chinese Chess v1.02 [a1] (1990)(Interplay Productions, Inc.) [Strategy, Chess].zip - ANIMATE2 might be corrupt in the base version, which is why this one is here just in case. setup.exe/bak files exist in this version (where the protection lies) but neither of them match the other setup versions available, so it's hard to tell which one is original and which ones are cracked til we get some floppy images to look through. * Beverly Hills Cop (CGA) (1990)(Tynesoft Computer Software) [Action, Racing - Driving].zip - CGA version, when properly run using GAME.BAT, will refuse to run on EGA and VGA. (see further notes below) * Beverly Hills Cop (EGA) (1990)(Tynesoft Computer Software) [Action, Racing - Driving].zip - requires a true EGA; the status bar in the first mini-game will be messed up on VGA; in DOSBox, a "cycles" setting of about 750 and not using the "dynamic" core will result in the title screen music being at the correct speed. Vanilla DOSBox also distorts the output further, but that is not user-adjustable. Final note: The original disk has invalid date/time stamps on most of the values (00.00.1980 00:00). I created those ZIP files within DOS to ensure that the individual files' date/time stamps match exactly what is on the original disks. Those exact date/time stamps will be lost if you re-zip those files, so do not rezip them. * Big Blue Disk #44 v1.66 [a1] (1990)(Softdisk Publishing) [Compilation].zip - different version of Chagunitzu * Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1990)(Capstone Software) [Adventure][!].zip - sourced from 3x720k IMA set. Files match multiple other dumps of these floppies but none of the floppies themselves match. 6x360k set produces identical files except for INSTALL2.BAT with a CRC32 of 0x1d86d951 references additional disks during copy phase. * Black Gold [f1] (1990)(Rainbow Arts, Inc.) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - 720k version. Fixed via combined all graphics options into 1 installed version with start.exe launcher. Crack:

* Black Gold (Installer) (1990)(Rainbow Arts, Inc.) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - 360k version, taken off tgod_001885 disk set. Disks have duplicate files on multiple disks, so directories had to be created for storage. Both 720k and 360k sets are available in TDC too. * Black Gold (Installer) [a1] (1990)(Rainbow Arts, Inc.) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - 360k version. Installer patched to allow it to find hard drives under dosbox but still fails with the EGA installation. You will likely want to just jump to the installed version which is already cracked and will run any graphics mode version by using start.exe * Blades of Steel [b1] (1990)(Konami Corporation) [Action, Sports] - different patched .exe's could be merged to restore to an original. missing CGA files and is torrentZipped. yuk! * Blaster Master [Gary Maddox][1990][rip][group -].zip - not a game. "BLASTER Master is a tool kit for working with raw, uncompressed Sound Blaster VOC files." * Blasteroids (1990)(Image Works) [Action] - says 1987, but everyone else says 1989 or 1990? * Bouncing Ball [SW] (1990)(Noel Llopis Artime) [Action].zip - works best at slower cycles in DOSBox * Bugs Bunny Hare-Brained Adventure, The [a1] (1990)(Hi-Tech Expressions, Inc.)

Non [a1] version jumps straight to game. * Bugs Bunny Hare-Brained Adventure, The [a2] (1990)(Hi-Tech Expressions, Inc.)

Has v5.0 of DRVJOY.EXE, Has DRVKEY.EXE v6.0. USA release, 720k, Has support for CGA,EGA,Herc,Tandy in menu, but selecting herc says buy a disk from a USA distributor. No readme.txt, some of the .exe files have v1.4 in them but considering everything says v1.4 that doesn't help. Has tandy support. * Conflict [a1] (1990)(Virgin Mastertronic Ltd.) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - perhaps a pre-release, as it does not ask for video modes, and has no video mode support files * Continuum [a1] (1990)(Data East Corporation) [Action, Strategy].zip - different crack- byte changes in PROGS.CC1 * Countdown [a1] (1990)(Access Software, Inc.)

[Action, Adventure] - The keyboard commands are kinda' screwy, Z = Left. X = Right. ' = Up. and / = down. Mouse support is spotty. Mine didn't work. * Clive Barker's Nightbreed- The Action Game [a1][b1] (1990)(Ocean Software Ltd.)

* Cribbage King - Gin King v1.08 (Installer) (1990)(Software Toolworks, Inc., The) [Strategy, Cards, Compilation].zip - sourced from "The Big Deal" collection IMA files. If running in DOSBox, Create a file named QEMM386$ (no extension) on the install source drive before installing. The file makes the install program think QEMM is managing memory, and the copy protection will then ignore upper memory used by DOSBox. See installed version for more notes. * Cribbage King - Gin King v1.08 (1990)(Software Toolworks, Inc., The) [Strategy, Cards, Compilation].zip - Without the QEMM386$ file trick described in the installer, the game produces incorrect/incompatible config files for the two games and you'll get a message about a hardware error and the game needing to be re-installed. They can be byte changed to fix it. Is this technically a crack?:
Comparing files CRIBKING.CFG (good) and CRIBKING.CFG (bad).  Same changes for GINKING.CFG.  Note you may end up with different values at offset 5 and 6, they just need to be 00 and byte 3 set to 1.  This probably tells the game to not use XMS or something.

[Action].zip - Dif crack, but asks at start of game. Otherwise seems clean and the uncracked exe (ex_) matches the one in base, so yay! * Cloud Kingdoms [h1][b1] (1990)(Millennium Interactive Ltd.) [Action] - intro loader to start game, missing CGA files. has an extra file CLOUD.DAT which also appeared in an unrelated game "Saddam Hussein Taget Game" from italsoft. * Commander Keen in Invasion of the Vorticons- Episode Three- Keen Must Die! [h1] (1990)(Apogee Software, Ltd.) [Action].zip - graffiti loader * Cuber v2.0 [SW][a1] (1990)(William Soleau) [Action, Strategy].zip - referred to as "Cuber Color" inside the registration screen.

Changed to Cuber 2.0 in the non [a1] release. Registered version operates faster and doesn't delay at program exit. * Curse of RA, The [b1] (1990)(Rainbow Arts Software GmbH) [Action, Strategy].zip - Missing EGA (*.#E#) files but is a different .com file and appears to actually be cracked compared to the other copies. * D.R.A.G.O.N. Force (Installer) (1990)(Interstel) [Strategy].zip - Installs without problems, but requires a: for source. DOSBox or subst do this work. * D.R.A.G.O.N. Force [b1] (1990)(Interstel) [Strategy].zip - Uncracked, I think that may be the only reason it's tagged with a [b1]. Codes (incomplete) are available in the docs folder. Also for some strange reason game give you choice to select directory, but don't install in any. But pressing ENTER made directory DRAGON on chosen disk and install in it. * Dames Simulator (Fr) [a1] (1990)(Infogrames Europe SA) [Strategy].zip - Appears to be uncracked, but I have no way to verify if it is original or not. [f1] and non [a1] both appear to work just fine. * Dangerous Dave [h1] (1990)(Softdisk Publishing) [Action].zip - hacked by italsoft * Dangerous Dave [h2] (1990)(Softdisk Publishing) [Action].zip - title credits hacked * Dark Century [h1] (1990)(Titus France SA) [Action, Strategy] - graffiti intro text. there's a better copy available. * Dark Heart of Uukrul, The (1990)(Brøderbund Software, Inc.)

Only difference the 720k version has an additional file called FMIM.AUT which is a copy of CGMSG.TBL * DarkSpyre v1.01 [a1] (1990)(Electronic Zoo) [Adventure, Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - runtime files are different. Appears copy protection mods are done to runtime.2. * Das Boot- German U-Boat Simulation [a1] (1990)(Three-Sixty Pacific, Inc.) [Simulation] - different sized .exe files * Day of the Viper v1.0 (1990)(Accolade, Inc.) [Action, Adventure, Strategy].zip - Sourced from scene releases. Both Public Enemy and FiRM released this. VIPER.EX_ was created by reversing out patches by comparing the two releases, but cannot be guaranteed to be original until a disk release is located. * Days of Thunder [b1] (1990)(Mindscape, Inc.) [Racing - Driving, Simulation].zip - CGA only, different .exe contents * Dino Wars [a1] (1990)(Digitek Software) [Strategy, Action, Educational].zip - appears to be a superset of the base version, with the .EX_ being the uncracked original. the 2nd file is likely an intermediate decompression artifact and should go away. * Diosa de Cozumel, La - Ci-U-Than Trilogy I (Es) [f1] (1990)(Aventuras AD) [Adventure, Interactive Fiction].zip - at offset 18e8 in AD.EXE the game has been patched to ignore a DOS version requirement that fails in DOSBox. unpatched: B4 30 CD 21 3C 03 74 0C Patched: B4 30 CD 21 30 C0 74 0C * Disney's Duck Tales- The Quest for Gold (1990)(Walt Disney Computer Software, Inc.)

[Action].zip - different credits. hack? Different crack too I think. Still says v1.0 on title screen. * Disney's Duck Tales- The Quest for Gold [a2] (1990)(Walt Disney Computer Software, Inc.) [Action].zip - uses loader to start game. Might mean that .exe is original. * Disney's Duck Tales- The Quest for Gold [a3] (1990)(Walt Disney Computer Software, Inc.)

Exit screen is different. Same timestamp on main exe and version number reported, so this has to be an [a1]. * Dragon Wars v1.1 (1990)(Interplay Productions, Inc.) [Action, Adventure][!].zip - verified against original disk 26-jan-2014. game is self modifying with any character or configuration changes, so many different CRC32 are available. Since TDC has a known good dump, no further copies will be accepted. Saving any configuration after the first run changes DRAGON.EXE. Character data is in DATA1. Playing the game after the clean start will produce a different content all the time as it never cleans the characters, just overwrites the data. Dragon W.ars is not a file, but the Disk Label * Dragon's Lair [a1] (1989)(Sullivan Bluth Interactive Media, Inc.)

* Dungeon Explorer- Dungeon of the Beast [SW][b1] (1990)(John K. Murphy) [Adventure].zip - missing CGAMASK.PIC and has a 100% chance of randomly crashing when playing in CGA. Appears to be a different build. (smaller) * Dungeon v2.5a (1990)(DECUS) [Adventure, Interactive Fiction] - set as DECUS as the publisher, even though slightly inaccurate. This is merely a port of the RT-11 fortran code which became Zork I eventually. * E-Motion (1990)(U.S. Gold Ltd.) [Action, Strategy].zip - Added MAIN._ into this archive. It was taken off an original disk, and may be the uncracked version of MAIN, except the two files also appear to be compiled at different times, so this might be an inaccurate add. All other files compared 100%, so this was better than creating an uncracked [a1] version. * East vs. West- Berlin 1948 (Installer) (1990)(Rainbow Arts Software GmbH) [Adventure].zip - 4x360k, Eu version. No tandy support. Identical to iNC scene release (EVSWINC[1-4]). From May 1990. * Edward O. Thorp's REAL BLACKJACK v1.2 [h1] (1990)(Villa Crespo Software, Inc.) [Strategy].zip - Type 00000 for the doc check. Poorly implemented crack, overwrote some original game text to accomplish. * Electric Crayon Deluxe- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles- World Tour v3.0 [a1] (1990)(Merit Studios, Inc.) [Educational].zip - slightly different, modified data. Likely used, but perhaps can be merged with other copy to restore to original state someday. * Electric Crayon Deluxe- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles- World Tour v3.0 [a2] (1990)(Merit Studios, Inc.) [Educational].zip - same as above, may be even less modified than the a1. * Espada Sagrada, La [a1] (Es) (1990)(Topo Soft) [Action, Adventure].zip - full trainer included. Also includes original files, which might be useful someday to un-crack this game * Explora III- Sous le Signe du Serpent (Fr) [f1] (1990)(Microvalue) [Adventure] - patched to work from any folder, not \EXPLORA3. Don't need the installer anymore. Unfortunately due to torrenzip and the installer itself, all the file dates were destroyed. * Expo (Tandy 1000) [f1] (1990)(RufusPro Software, Brooks deForest) [Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - files were incorrectly named in available download from bdf's website. * Exterminator [a1] (1990)(Audiogenic Software Ltd.) [Action].zip - single byte difference in .exe file. Likely not a crack difference. Both are LZ91'ed, so neither may match an original disk. * Faces ...tris III [a1] (1990)(Spectrum Holobyte, Inc.) [Strategy] - different crack. one day will merge and uncrack. * Faces ...tris III (VGA, EGA, Tandy) (1990)(Spectrum Holobyte, Inc.) [Strategy] - may be a rip without the CGA/Herc files. * Faces ...tris III (CGA, Mono) [a1] (1990)(Spectrum Holobyte, Inc.) [Strategy] - may be the other half of the above. Different crack than the non A1 * Fantasy-II [f1] (1990)(Softstuff) [Adventure, Interactive Fiction, Adult].zip - includes originals.zip which contains the completely wack original filename for the exe and the launcher .bat file. * Fighter Bomber v1008-030490 (1990)(Activision (UK) Limited) [Action, Simulation].zip - found on myabandonware.org. Source unknown. Probably already patched. * Fighter Bomber v1008-030490 [a1] (1990)(Activision (UK) Limited) [Action, Simulation].zip - found on abandonware-france.org Install.exe modified. Differences are direct to the .exe, not a recompile so it could have been hacked but that seems unlikely. Has no CGA/VGA disk references in INSTALL.EXE, just EGA/GAME. Source unknown. Missing TGA driver, which makes sense if this version has reduced video support. * Fighter Bomber v1006-220190 (1990)(Activision (UK) Limited) [Action, Simulation].zip - sourced from TGOD#0217 2x3.5DD. New installer, game credits, added command line help. ARMING.NDX is newer on disk2 so renamed other to ND_ * Fighter Bomber Advanced Mission Disc (Installer) (1990)(Activision (UK) Limited) [Simulation, Addon].zip - requires fighter bomber installed to \BOMBER folder, no option to select target directory. ADVANCED.EXE is pre cracked in this release. * Fire & Forget II- The Death Convoy [b1] (1990)(Titus France SA) [Action, Racing - Driving].zip - Missing CGA files, different EGA exe than main zip. * Fire & Forget II- The Death Convoy [a1] (1990)(Titus France SA) [Action, Racing - Driving].zip - different crack and directory layout, which may be due to the 5.25 and 3.5" releases. The base version was taken off an original disk (720k) and cracked in 2020, so use that one. * Fire Hawk- Thexder - The Second Contact v2.0 (1990)(Sierra On-Line, Inc.) [Action][!].zip - Sourced from 2x720k IMA/kfx from TDC's collection. Alternate cracks from rawcopy and crackaid for example modify more bytes than the crack supplied here. 3x360k version is identical except for __INSTH.BAT using different disk #. Crock2 crack:

* Flight of the Intruder (1990)(Spectrum HoloByte, Inc.) [Simulation].zip - sourced from kx/ima set, all disks merged. Between the CGA and EGA/VGA set, only INTRUDER.BAT filename collided, so the CGA INTRUDER.BAT was renamed to CINTRUDE.BAT which aligned with the existing HINTRUDE.BAT for monochrome. * Flight of the Intruder r900803 (Installer) [b1] (1990)(Mirrorsoft Ltd.) [Simulation][!].zip - sourced from known good kfx/ima set, 2x720k version. Surprisingly this installer does not work at all. - This is missing data being copied in the installer for VGALIST.x (BEEP7, CAMERA, CLICK2, CLUNK2, SERVO, SHORTRADI.O, SLIDE2) -- when this installs it hangs because of the missing files -- visible in the FAT since the original VGALIST.1 was deleted and rebuilt incorrectly as .5/6 -- major SNAFU by vendor when converting 5.25 to 3.5? Use the 5.25 release instead. * Flight of the Intruder r900803 (Installer) (1990)(Mirrorsoft Ltd.) [Simulation].zip - sourced from 1.2mb+360k release. This installer works, the 3.5" version does not. * Flight of the Intruder r900704 (Installer) [b1] (1990)(Spectrum HoloByte, Inc.) [Simulation].zip - 4x720k release, but installing VGA will fail. It's missing a handful of files that appear on the other (5.25") release. Possibly a failure on the publisher's side to validate the product? * Flight of the Intruder v1.1 (Installer) (1990)(Spectrum HoloByte, Inc.) [Simulation].zip - sourced from 3x720k kfx/ima set. Finally the disks can be merged without needing to rename anything. This is the 1990-Aug-15 version. * Flintstones- Dino- Lost in Bedrock, The (1990)(Hi-Tech Expressions, Inc.)

Launcher gold.exe does not start game under dosbox because it does not emulate INT 2Eh. It is only a compiled bat2exe anyway. Not technically bad since it works in real DOS. To make it work in DOSBox, gold.com (and .bat files) were added to allow quick-n-easy setup and start. Just launch gold.com instead of gold.exe * Golden Axe (Installer) [h1] (1990)(Sega Entertainment Inc) [Action].zip - Hacked title to "Super Golden Axe", and released in 1994. This is a trained version of GA where you can apply different mods to characters before starting the game. It's still Golden Axe, and thus belongs in 1990 as a curiosity. * Golden Axe (1990)(Sega Entertainment Inc) [Action].zip - recently re-cracked to fix this: Problem: Golden Axe (cracked by Fabulous Furlough of The Humble Guys) has 3 main options, Arcade, Beginner and The Duel. You will find no problem playing and finishing the first two, but if you attempt to play the duel mode against the computer, you will find that after you've finished the horrible 13th level, you get a message saying: "Enter Disk 2 Press Enter". * Golden Axe [f1] (1990)(Sega Entertainment Inc) [Action].zip - Fresh copy from known good KFX 2x5.25" dump. Fixes copy protection, "insert disk 2" message (not needed anymore) and the Hercules graphics issue as described here: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=24965 * Golden Axe [f1][a1] (1990)(Sega Entertainment Inc) [Action].zip - 3.5" release of the same updates. These two fully replace all other copies of GA. * Grand Prix Master (1989)(Dinamic Software) [Racing - Driving].zip - source unknown. Likely not a 1989 release based on timestamps. Very similar to Aspar GP Master * Gremlins 2- The New Batch [a2] (1990)(Elite Systems Ltd.)

This version has disk protection and doc check and two additional files that the Kixx XL release has. Some file dates are 1990. Currently attributing this release to the German 1990 release, but information is sparse. requires cputype=386_prefetch. Original uncracked files are identical to 449.02 [a1] release. * Mad Mix 2- En El Castillo De Los Fantasmas (Es) [b1] (1990)(Topo Soft) [Action].zip - EGA only. Different .exe * Maniac Mansion (1990)(Lucasfilm Games LLC) [Adventure].zip - This is perhaps known as v1.1 although there is nothing internal to the game which says that. The compile date (and internal MS compiler string) show that it is indeed from 1990, compared to the 1988 release which has a compiler string of 1987. This .exe is likely hacked in that it says "FUCKED" - source unknown. * Mario Andretti's Racing Challenge [a1] (1991)(Electronic Arts, Inc.)

Easy to spot, too, as you can see much of the text from SELECT.COM in it. * Netherworld [b1] (1990)(Hewson Consultants Ltd.) [Action].zip - SCREENT.COM is corrupt. Easy to spot, too, as you can see much of the text from SELECT.COM in it. It's troubling that this file is identical in both versions of this game. Three separate disk images have produced the same file sets (all corrupt) so one has to believe this may be the way it was actually shipped. * Netherworld [f1] (1990)(Hewson Consultants Ltd.)

It'll ask for a disk swap and then never accept it. * Operation Neptune [a1] (1990)(The Learning Company) [Educational, Simulation].zip - different NEP000.DAT file, more blank. Could be where savegame data is stored, in which case this [a1] is cleaner than the non [a1]. Also, beware the batch file that specifies where the game is run from. * Operation Stealth (1990)(Interplay Productions, Inc.) [Action, Adventure].zip - Click on any colors (twice) and you're in... After the protection disappears, the Delphine screen takes really long to appear, I don't know if you have to press a mouse button here or anything, but sometimes it takes really long, and sometimes it just takes a few seconds. Start the game with CRACK.COM and it should work OK! * Operation Stealth [a1] (1990)(Interplay Productions, Inc.) [Action, Adventure].zip - VGA Only. Operation Stealth [a1] (1990) is VGA only. The earlier version already in TDC supports multiple types of graphics, but it has a problem with flickering in VGA. The VGA-only version does not have the problem, which may be why it was released a few months after the earlier version. I also noticed some different graphics between versions, such as the pilot's visor in the intro. A crack TSR made by Mok is included. * Oregon Trail, The v2.1 (1990)(MECC) [Adventure, Educational, Role-Playing (RPG), Simulation, Strategy][!].zip - sourced from 720k IMA from TDC's images collection.

This version came bundled with a cheat program which likely modified the .exe file directly. Chances are this .exe is not in a pristine state. * Pinball Magic [f1] (1990)(Loriciel SA) [Simulation, Action].zip - Likely sourced from kfx/ima, 1x720k (hard to extract files from copy protected image using HxCfloppyemu). hardcoded paths for drive A: removed.

Running SETUP.BAT starts the initial agent configuration which is saved in a file called SA which gets copied into a folder called SIS. The supervisor's name is "WILLIAM H. SULLENS" as visible in the documentation, or if you're super lazy, you can use the crack in the cracks folder to allow any name to be used. There appears to be a backup SA file available as SA.B. One can use reset.bat to restore them. This game modifies the system timer to be set in June 1996 to correlate with the story. * Prince of Persia [h1] (1990)(Brøderbund Software, Inc.)

Yuk. Get the TSR crack from the cracks folder: Stratego (1990)(Accolade, Inc.) [TSR Crack].zip to cleanly bypass the early doc check. It works on both fast and slow load installations. The game needs to be installed on the machine you want to run.

The WINSTALL program is used to configure the game, and it has a really stupid feature. You have to enter the path of the game, even if you're only changing soundcard, or whatever. It takes drive Drive name (of destination drive), adds \ and then adds Path. (if you have the game in D:\GAMES\WIZ6, you enter D: under Drive name, and GAMES\WIZ6 under Path). This game had a poorly written slowdown routine which failed on new computers (caused a divide by zero) A small hack of changing these bytes in wroot.exe 2e 8b 16 e0 1f to 90 90 90 90 90 fixes the problem, at least on a P200. * Wizardry VI- Bane of the Cosmic Forge (Installer) [a1] (1990)(Sir-tech Software, Inc.)

* World Championship Boxing Manager v3.0 (En)(De)(Fr)(It)(Es) [a1] (1990)(Krisalis Software Ltd.) [Sports, Strategy].zip - source unknown.

Seems incomplete, unable to locate the keyboard version as mentioned on Brooks deForest's website. Best known dump. Update by eXo, requires tandy emulation with joystick support, which is nonstandard. From ripsaw8080: First, Tandy defines Joystick A as the LEFT joystick, Joystick B as the RIGHT joystick; however, B is the FIRST joystick, A is the SECOND joystick. Kinda backwards. Second, the STICK(0) function in Tandy BASIC reads *both* joysticks, and it hangs when either one doesn't respond, so it has a presumption that both are connected. With a joysticktype=2axis setting, the only way to activate a second joystick is to have one reported by SDL -- with only keymapping, the second joystick is not activated in DOSBox. So, the trick is to use a joysticktype=4axis setting. Remember, though, that joystick B is the first joystick, so if a BASIC program is only looking at joystick A coords (STICK(0) and STICK(1)) then the second joystick (axis 3/4) needs a keymapping. * Worlds of Ultima- The Savage Empire v1.6 (1990)(ORIGIN Systems, Inc.)

[Action, Strategy].zip - cracked by cooldude on the character screen. * Battle Master [f1] (1991)(Mirrorsoft Ltd.) [Action, Strategy].zip - PC2.LBM appears to be original, and it has some graphics where the warez group graffiti is in the [h1] copy. This suggests the screen shot on MobyGames was taken from the warez copy and cleaned. ADLIB.BIN and SAMPLES.BIN are the same, so perhaps they were not mismatched to the main executable after all and there was simply a programming error made with them. The problem with AdLib has been fixed in the clean copy, as DX is set to 388h when the music driver is called, but the invalid function number and consequent crash with the Samples driver still exists. The dash bug is still there, so one must use a preceding dash with command line options or random options will be selected. Same crack as the [h1] copy and with the Samples function number issue fixed. Tagged as [f1] for command line fix. BM.EXE is distinct in having the AdLib fix and other differences compared to the [h1] copy. This version should be considered the "best" one, as the PC2.LBM file is original and no extra loader program is needed to fix problems. * Battle Master [a1][f1] (1991)(Mirrorsoft Ltd.) [Action, Strategy].zip - Fixed by ripsaw8080. First, the PC2.LBM file contains cracker graffiti courtesy of TDT/TRSI, which I guess is the reason for the [h1] tag. I used Deluxe Paint II to clean it up, and screen shots on MobyGames suggest the appearance is correct, although those shots may have been cleaned as well. Second, ADLIB.BIN requires the Adlib base port in the DX register when it is called, but the game doesn't do that; and SAMPLES.BIN is called with a function number that is not recognized. As a result, the game is unstable when either of the drivers is used. The BMFIX.COM program that I made tries to paper over the situation by setting DX=388h before calling the music driver, and changing the function number before calling the sfx driver. The workaround seems to do the trick, but only for the issues I know about. If the two drivers are mismatched to the main executable as I suspect then other files may be mismatched and issues could appear far into playing. In any case, run the workaround program to start the game, including any command line switches to pass along. Note that the game has an awful command line bug: if you specify any kind of parameter but don't include a dash (hypen, minus, "-", or whatever you want to call it) then the game will scan the entire 64kB PSP segment for switches, and the switches it finds in all of that stuff are mostly arbitrary. It happens because the game searches for a dash before it starts processing switches, so ALWAYS use a dash (slash is not recognized) for any kind of command line. These are the recognized command line switches, case doesn't matter: A = Adlib music R = Roland music S = Speaker sfx (sampled) T = Tandy music V = VGA palette 0-9 = Not sure, maybe speed, default is 1 Example: BM -ASV will give Adlib music with Speaker sfx and VGA palette. Notes: - If you don't specify a music driver then you get the beeper (speaker). - If you don't specify Speaker sfx then you get sfx through the music driver. - If you specify multiple music drivers then the last one specified is used, which is why the no-dash bug results in arbitrary selection. - Tandy refers to audio only; the game does not support Tandy video. I guess this would be for a Tandy system with an EGA or VGA card installed. In DOSBox you should use an EGA or VGA machine type and tandy=on. - VGA palette means the game still uses EGA mode D (320x200x16) but with a modified palette that only works on VGA. - To quit the game, press Ctrl-Q and then press space. I don't know why it's like that. * Battlestorm [a1] (1991)(Titus France SA) [Action].zip - comes from 10 Great Games Compilation (Titus)(CD-Rom) which maybe shouldn't be extracted out individually, but it is a different release of the game, so it shouldn't be buried in a compilation either. * Begin v2.0 [SW][h1] (1991)(Clockwork Software) [Strategy, Simulation].zip - several in-game names+messages changed * Berenstain Bears, The- Fun With Colors (1991)(Britannica Software Inc.)

Second, the ADLIB.BIN and SAMPLES.BIN drivers appear to be from a different version of the game. ADLIB.BIN requires the Adlib base port in the DX register when it is called, but the game doesn't do that; and SAMPLES.BIN is called with a function number that is not recognized.

It happens because the game searches for a dash before it starts processing switches, so ALWAYS use a dash (slash is not recognized) for any kind of command line.

These are the recognized command line switches, case doesn't matter:

A = Adlib music
R = Roland music
S = Speaker sfx (sampled)
T = Tandy music
V = VGA palette
0-9 = Not sure, maybe speed, default is 1

Example: BM -ASV will give Adlib music with Speaker sfx and VGA palette.

Notes:
- If you don't specify a music driver then you get the beeper (speaker).
- If you don't specify Speaker sfx then you get sfx through the music driver.
- If you specify multiple music drivers then the last one specified is used, which is why the no-dash bug results in arbitrary selection.
- Tandy refers to audio only; the game does not support Tandy video. I guess this would be for a Tandy system with an EGA or VGA card installed. In DOSBox you should use an EGA or VGA machine type and tandy=on.
- VGA palette means the game still uses EGA mode D (320x200x16) but with a modified palette that only works on VGA.
- To quit the game, press Ctrl-Q and then press space. I don't know why it's like that.

I suppose a batch menu would simplify things with the switches and advise about what the options are, if anyone is inspired to make one.

(tgod803, tgod802) * Champion of the Raj (Installer) (1991)(Personal Software Services) [Action, Strategy].zip- sourced from 720k IMA. DISK2 files get overwritten by DISK3 compressed versions if copying in order so disk2 files are tucked into their own folder for identification. Most all files are compressed and only decompressed at installation, including readme which is a little weird considering people might want to read it before installing. options are only saved if installed to HDD. Added quick setup.bat to get options saved. Such a weird release. * Charge of the Light Brigade, The (En)(Fr)(De)(Es)(It) (1991)(Impressions) [Strategy].zip - sourced from 1x720k IMA, not the kfx dump which has modifications due to savegames. * Chessmaster 3000, The v1.02a (Installer) (1991)(Software Toolworks, Inc., The) [Strategy, Chess].zip - unzip into a root folder and install from there.

* Descubre 2 (Es) (1991)(Coktel Educative) [Educational].zip - sourced from 1x720k, has a bug (same bug in Italian version, Orizzonti 2) where game hangs if restoring play from Cambiar de ejericio, level B at completion. The game seems to be waiting for something, like an interrupt to fire. Happens on a real DOS machine too, so this is the way the game was released, it's not a corrupt file or DOSBox issue. * Desert Storm [h1] (1991)(Alpha Software) [Action].zip - heavily modified by release group (NEUA) * Destination- Mars! (1991)(Compu-Teach) [Educational, Simulation].zip - sourced from IMA set, which was sourced from tgod. 5x360k. Version#, like most Compu-Teach material, is probably printed on the floppy disks themselves which we don't have. * Destination- Mars! [b1] (1991)(Compu-Teach) [Educational, Simulation].zip - Probably a 3x720k version. missing files, exits, loader, best known dump though. copy any text file for intro.txt to get it to go a little further. There is a complete version also from 1991, but it's a different build than this one, but files could be scraped from the complete version to better this one, but since it's a unique build it still needs to stay. Version#, like most Compu-Teach material, is probably printed on the floppy disks themselves which we don't have. * Dick Tracy- The Crime-Solving Adventure (1991)(Walt Disney Computer Software, Inc.)

If you are trying to change it to Tandy, crack is not working anymore. * Dick Tracy- The Crime-Solving Adventure [b1] (1991)(Walt Disney Computer Software, Inc.)

[Educational].zip - closing credits hacked up. * Donde esta Carmen Sandiego- Buscala por todo el mundo! (Es) [a1] (1991)(Broderbund Software, Inc.) [Adventure, Educational].zip - totally different .exe and .dat files, can't find a version number. * Dragon's Lair II- TimeWarp [h1] (1990)(ReadySoft Incorporated) [Action].zip - graffiti start screen. couple other files are different, not sure which is original. * Dragonflight v1.000.004 (De) [a1] (1991)(Thalion Software) [Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - very different dragon.exe, same version though. * Dragon Spirit- The New Legend [f1] (1991)(Domark Software Ltd.) [Action].zip - fixed executable that allows the initial powerup screen to appear in CGA and not have garbled lettering in Hercules. The game copies 16384 words instead of 16384 bytes to CGA video memory. This does not hurt on a VGA or EGA, other than taking twice as long as necessary, because those cards do not have a mirror of B800 at BC00. The CGA however does, so the game immediately overwrites the screen with 00 or garbage after every update. DOSBox' emulation is correct in this case, and if any other emulator runs this game without glitches in CGA mode on an emulated CGA, then that emulator is wrong. Obviously, the game was never tested on a real CGA card. * Dragon Spirit- The New Legend [f2] (1991)(Domark Software Ltd.) [Action].zip - The missing/corrupted bonus item screen on CGA/Hercules occurs because of another bug in the game: the routine that checks the input state sets the Direction Flag but does not restore it afterwards, causing the calling routine to act in unexpected ways. This (and only this) is corrected by the [f1] version. * Dragon Spirit- The New Legend [h1] (1991)(Domark Software Ltd.) [Action].zip - "Crazy Club" release. CC added protection and hacked the credits. * Earl Weaver Baseball II (1991)(Electronic Arts, Inc.) [Sports].zip - taken off original write protected disks. EWB2.EXE is pklited as original and extracted in the cracked copy. * Eco-Adventures in the Oceans v1.01 (Installer) [f1] (1992)(Chariot Software) [Educational].zip - modified install.exe to ignore disk labels. Use install.bat to even get the cracked OVR file installed. * EcoQuest- The Search for Cetus [a1] (1991)(Sierra On-Line, Inc.) [Adventure, Educational][!].zip - 3.5" media. Non [a1] is 5.25" media * Elf [b1] (1991)(Ocean Software Ltd.) [Action].zip - appears to be missing CGA and VGA-16 files. Best dump known. * Elite Plus [a1] (1991)(Microplay Software) [Simulation].zip - different main .exe, does not appear to be compression based. * Elvira- The Arcade Game (En)(Fr)(De)(It) (1991)(Flair Software Ltd.) [Action].zip - proper crack from akuma. IMA set available in TDC.

* Fascination (Es) [a1] (1991)(Coktel Vision) [Adventure, Adult].zip - Appears to be the 360k release. * Fascination (He) [b1] (1991)(Coktel Vision) [Adventure, Adult].zip - tagged as bad to make people look here... Can't tell if this is a hack to Hebrew or an official release. No files seem to match up with other releases, AND the game language selector doesn't support Hebrew and the game locks up if you select a different language. AND this game appears to be merged with Hugo, so it's a mess, but it does seem to be playable. * Felix [h1] (1991)(David Bratton) [Action, Strategy].zip - hacked? to change text from "CGA required" to "EGA required" which is weird because the game is in CGA. * Fighting For Rome (Multi-6) [a1] (1991)(Merit Software) [Strategy].zip - different .exe, but both say Vr 1.00. * Fireteam 2200 v1.1 (Installer) [f1] (1991)(RAW Entertainment, Inc.) [Strategy].zip - install.dat modified to not require disk swaps. DISK.ID2 is actually named DISK.ID and is supposed to live on diskette #2. * Flight of the Intruder v1.2 (Installer) (1991)(Spectrum HoloByte, Inc.) [Simulation].zip - sourced from 2x720k IMA's. This is the 1991-Jan-14 release. * Flintstones- Dino- Lost in Bedrock, The (1991)(Hi-Tech Expressions, Inc.) [Action].zip - sourced from kfx/ima set, 1x360k. Updated version from original 1990 release. * Fun School 3 - For 5 to 7 Year Olds [a1] (1991)(Database Educational Software) [Educational].zip - Runs only when extracted into the root folder. Also required adding a file called "ID" with any content to get it to start. May be bad or badly installed, but it's a different build than the base version. * Fun School 3 - Under 5's (1991)(Database Educational Software) [Educational].zip - taken off original floppy disk, even though the timestamps are wack. should be run from the root directory since there are hardcoded paths. * Fun School 4 - For 7 to 11 Year Olds v1.7 [a1] (1993)(Europress Software Ltd.) [Educational].zip - 720k disk vs 360k version. The name of the zip conflicts with the box. The box says "Fun School- learning adventures with Sammy Spy" Ages 9-14. see media scans Fun School 4 - For 7 to 11 Year Olds v1.7 (1993)(Europress Software Ltd.) [Media][360k].zip * Fun With Letters and Words [SW] (1991)(Wescott Software) [Educational].zip - also in 1989, but different versions. No version numbers provided. * Gamblers & Money Grubbers [SW][a1] (1991)(Hyperware) [Simulation].zip - Completely different program+startup menu. Both say v1.0 * Games- Winter Challenge, The (Installer) (1991)(Accolade, Inc.) [Sports][!].zip - taken from original 1.44mb disk. Matches file-wise the known good dump of the kfx/ima 720k set. The 720k disk version has a file called "DEFAULT2.WGL" which is identical to "DEFAULT.WGL" on disk 1. We'll spare you from having the 720k release as an [a1] copy here. * Games- Winter Challenge, The (1991)(Accolade, Inc.)

We'll use the title screen. * GATO [f1] (1991)(WizardWorks Software) [Simulation].zip - sourced from kfx image from TDC's images collection. No version number available in code or on floppy disk label, but is believed to be v1.5, which is basically the GATO1.EXE seen in v1.2 and v1.4 except without the copy protection envelope. * Gazza II (Multi-5) [a1] (1991)(Empire Software) [Action, Sports, Strategy].zip - 2 byte difference at top of gazza2.exe file.

This may in fact cause files in control.004 to not be copied over during the installation. * Grand Prix 500 2 (Fr) (1991)(Microïds) [Racing - Driving, Simulation, Sports].zip - sourced from IMA set in TDC's floppy collection.

* Grand Prix 500 2 [tr En] (1991)(Microïds) [Racing - Driving, Simulation, Sports].zip - Unknown source, scene release. May be an officially done conversion from French to UK English, but some text messages overlap. The keyboard layout was also re-arranged from azerty to qwerty which may show this was an official, yet poorly done translation. Currently tagged as [tr En] which essentially means unofficial job. * Great Courts 2 [a1] (1991)(Blue Byte Software GmbH) [Sports].zip - Different title screen, possibly supports Tandy too. * Gunship 2000 v469.01 [h1] (1991)(MicroProse Software, Inc.) [Simulation].zip - roster.dat hacked by THG back in the day, it may be possible to simply replace it from 469.02 but we don't quite know if that file is unchanged. No source known. * Gunship 2000 v469.02 (Installer) (1991)(MicroProse Software, Inc.) [Simulation].zip - 3x5.25HD version. Sourced from TDC's IMA/kfx set. Installer needs real floppy drive to operate. * Gunship 2000 v469.02 [a1] (Installer) (1991)(MicroProse Software, Inc.) [Simulation].zip - 4x720k version. Sourced from TDC's IMA/kfx set.

[Simulation].zip - 3x1.2mb version, sourced from ibmpc5150's IMA files * Gunship 2000 v469.03 (Installer) [a1] (1991)(MicroProse Software, Inc.) [Simulation].zip - 4x720k version, sourced from ibmpc5150's IMA files * Gunship 2000 v469.03u (1991)(MicroProse Software, Inc.) [Simulation].zip - this is a clean v469.02 with v03 patch but this is different to a real v03. does not patch RSOUND.GS4 or GS2000.CAT * Harpoon v1.21 (1991)(Three-Sixty Pacific, Inc.) [Simulation, Strategy][!].zip - taken from known good IMA/KFX dump in TDC. * Harpoon v1.21 (Installer) [a1] (1991)(Three-Sixty Pacific, Inc.) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - Taken from tgod 2880, 4 disk release. Not sure how one installs it. almost weirdly identical to game, has EXE but also in two parts on DISK 4 * Harpoon Challenger Pak - Signature Edition v1.31se (Installer) (1991)(Three-Sixty Pacific, Inc.) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - built from tod2901 * Harpoon Battleset 3- The MED Conflict (1991)(Electronic Arts Ltd.)

[Simulation, Addon].zip - added from TGOD#2877 3 Disk version (split EGA) * Harpoon BattleSet 4- Indian Ocean - Persian Gulf [a1] (1991)(Three-Sixty Pacific, Inc.) [Simulation, Addon].zip - added from TGOD#2878 3 Disk version (split EGA) * Heart of China v0.100 (Es) (1991)(Sierra On-Line, Inc.) [Action, Adventure].zip - found an alternate install.com with byte difference at 0x6d88 being 07 vs the 06 in the current TDC ver. Not sure which one is correct yet. * Headline Harry and The Great Paper Race (1991)(Davidson & Associates, Inc.) [Educational, Strategy].zip - 256 color VGA, 5 disk version. * Headline Harry and The Great Paper Race [a1] (1991)(Davidson & Associates, Inc.) [Educational, Strategy].zip - 16 color, 4 disk version. (TGOD#2379) Still says 1.0 but according to the installer has support for additional video modes. * Headline Harry and The Great Paper Race (Installer) [a1] (1991)(Davidson & Associates, Inc.) [Educational, Strategy].zip - built from tgod2379, so this is the installer for the [a1] listed above. We don't yet have an installer for the 256 color version, so this is slightly confusing. * Heart of China v0.100 (Es) [a1] (1991)(Sierra On-Line, Inc.) [Action, Adventure].zip - 1.2mb disk version. Base is 1.44 * Hill Street Blues (En)(De)(Fr)(It)(Es) (1991)(Krisalis Software Ltd.) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - taken off 720k disk images in TDC. May be played, as it has a HILLSTBL.GM1 file on it which was not included in this zip as it appears to be a save game file. * Hill Street Blues (En)(De)(Fr)(It)(Es) [a1] (1991)(Krisalis Software Ltd.) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - cga.exe has a couple bytes different. taken off 360k IMA set. Does not have HILLSTBL.GM1, which seems like a savegame file. The HSB_CGA.EXE file matches a scene release that came out in the 90s, so one is lead to believe it was released that way and is not due to corruption. * Home Alone [h1] (1991)(Capstone Software) [Action].zip - "cracked by razor" on title screen * Hong Kong Mahjong [SW][a1] (1991)(Nine Dragons Software) [Strategy].zip - Just a couple bytes different in files. May be corruption? * Hound of Shadow, The (Installer) [f1] (1991)(Electronic Arts, Inc.) [Adventure, Interactive Fiction].zip - fixed so that the game can be installed under DOSbox- it has many disk label checks. * Hound of Shadow (1991)(Electronic Arts, Inc.) [Adventure, Interactive Fiction].zip - Installed version of the above. Despite what mobygames says about the release date, the DOS version came out in 1991. Fix (crack?)

[Action, Adventure].zip - uses a loader TSR patch, not really hacked, but annoying. * Immortal, The [h2] (1991)(Electronic Arts, Inc.) [Action, Adventure].zip - different loader TSR. the non [hx] version is probably not cracked then. * Iron Lord (1991)(Action Sixteen) [Action, Adventure].zip - sourced from 5x360k Action 16 version. Has no installer, has only the EGA version. * Iron Lord [a1] (1991)(Action Sixteen) [Action, Adventure].zip - source unknown, may not be Action Sixteen, but since it has no CGA version or installer, this is the closest match. Maybe this is a different disk format version. * Iron Lord (1991)(Ubi Soft Entertainment Software) [Action, Adventure].zip - sourced from tgod 001431. 4x720k disk version. Has CGA and EGA versions. Weirdly the installer has a key disk check, but the game itself runs perfectly fine without installation. In DOSBox, the installer still fails to copy or even create the target folder; may be another key disk check(?). The cracked copy at least allows one to see what the installer would do, including allowing a language selection. The game itself always comes up in english even though there are other languages visible in the .exes. Not sure how to trigger them. "crack":

Weirdly the installer has a key disk check, but the game itself runs perfectly fine without installation. Install.exe is different because of num of disks requested. In DOSBox, the installer still fails to copy or even create the target folder; may be another key disk check(?).

* Iron Lord [a2] (1991)(Ubi Soft Entertainment Software) [Action, Adventure].zip - source unknown. Install still has a key disk check, which wasn't removed in this version because it doesn't seem to help installing anyway. Definitely a new build and has some text strings changed compared to [a1]: "IT5CGA","ITS5GA" v "IT3CGA","IT3EGA" in this version. May be # of disks variant? IRONCGA and IRONEGA also different builds with no hints about why or versioning. * J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Vol. II- The Two Towers (Installer) [f1] (1991)(Interplay Productions, Inc.) [Adventure, Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - patched/combined interplay.cmp to allow for quick-n-easy installs. * J.R.R. Tolkien's Riders of Rohan (1991)(Konami, Inc., Mirrorsoft Ltd.) [Strategy].zip - title screen says 1990, but disks and box say 1991. * J.R.R. Tolkien's Riders of Rohan (1991)(Konami, Inc., Mirrorsoft Ltd.) [Strategy].zip - Different crack. can reverse to original someday! * Jahangir Khan World Championship Squash (En)(De)(Fr)(It)(Es) [h1] (1991)(Krisalis Software Ltd.) [Sports].zip - squash.exe has been modified to include a message, but may also have other changes (crack?) applied. * James Pond II- Codename Robocod (1991)(Millennium Interactive Ltd.) [Action].zip - may be a demo or pre-release, as the copywrite date is 1991 vs 1993 in the other release. Also has an interesting error code message which was removed in the 1993 release: Robocod requires 570Kb free at DOS prompt. No such error !! How the fuck did you get this one ? Deallocation error. ( Tut 0 Invalid sprite number passed to DPSPR. Invalid bank number passed to DPSPR. * JetFighter II- Advanced Tactical Fighter v1.0B (Installer) (1991)(Velocity Inc.)

[IMA][1220k].zip from June 1991. use cputype=386_prefetch on install or it'll hang * JetFighter II- Advanced Tactical Fighter v1.0B (1991)(Velocity Inc.)

Notes.txt are different for example. * JetFighter II- Advanced Tactical Fighter v1.0B (Installer) [a1] (1991)(Velocity Inc.)

[Simulation].zip - Installed version of the above with all video modes. * JetFighter II- Advanced Tactical Fighter v1.0B [a2] (1991)(Velocity Inc.) [Simulation].zip - Unknown source. All that is different is the notes.txt again. Not sure if 1993 dates are accurate? * Jigsaw Pinups (1991)(Artworx Software Company, Inc.) [Strategy, Puzzle, Adult].zip - 1991 game re-released on CD? CD-ZIP of the ISO image in TDC's iamges collection. May be home brewed. CD contains nothing more than was released on floppy, possibly even less. Online searches show a set of american and european models, but only american models included here. * Joe Montana Football- '91-'92 Playbook (1991)(SEGA of America, Inc.)

[Adventure].zip - CD-ZIP of redump's bin-cue http://redump.org/disc/10653/. Confusingly, this is a considered a re-release of KQ5 on CD, but the file dates are all 1991 instead of the 1992 release. redump's data says that the creation date was 1994 to make things even worse. Use install.exe and not install.bat * Kong's Revenge (Es) [a1] (1991)(Zigurat) [Action].zip - Different crack. Oddly enough this release also had 0.ANI which is from sleeping gods lie which more than doubled the overall size of the archive, so it was deleted. * L'aigle d'or - Le retour [tr En][h1] (1991)(Loriciel SA) [Adventure, Action].zip - "cracked by TDT" but is also translated into english. Translation done by brute force (hex editing), although since this game is officially released in English as "Golden Eagle" it's an oddity as to why. * Leisure Suit Larry 1- In the Land of the Lounge Lizards v2.0 (1991)(Sierra On-Line, Inc.)

Fixed by changing install script to allow installation from C: drive * Leisure Suit Larry 5- Passionate Patti Does a Little Undercover Work (1991)(Sierra On-Line, Inc.) [Adventure][!].zip - Installed version of the above. * Leisure Suit Larry 5- Passionate Patti Does a Little Undercover Work v1.0 (16 Color) (1991)(Sierra On-Line, Inc.) [Adventure][!].zip - sourced from known good 720k images in TDC's images collection. Run install.exe to configure hardware first. * Leisure Suit Larry 5- Passionate Patti macht beim Geheimdienst mit (De)(En) (1991)(Sierra On-Line, Inc.) [Adventure].zip - found on CGboard, no known source. Identical to the release on Bestseller games #9 from 1996. * Les Manley- Lost in L.A. (1991)(Accolade, Inc.) [Adventure].zip - US 6 disk 720K version ; EXE is 11/15/1991, taken from Les Manley- Lost in L.A. (1991)(Accolade, Inc.) [IMA][720K].zip. The Installer as running the install (i.e. from Drive A) copies everything but INSTALL.EXE. It can run with it in the dir but when you run the install file anywhere else it NULLS all the files. :( * Les Manley- Lost in L.A. [a1] (1991)(Accolade, Inc.) [Adventure].zip - THG scene release, no known source. * Les Manley- Lost in L.A. v1.01 (1991)(Accolade, Inc.)

It is a false alarm. It has exe compression in it, and after uncompression, the virus scanner no longer pops up. * Lemmings [a1] (1991)(Psygnosis Limited) [Strategy, Action].zip - 05/10/91 version, matches TGOD#1618 * Lemmings [a2] (1991)(Psygnosis Limited) [Strategy, Action].zip - 05/24/91 version, built from TGOD#1202 (also matches ibmpc5150 zip content) * Lemmings (demo) (1991)(Psygnosis Limited) [Strategy][!].zip - matched several sources * Lexi-Cross (Installer) (1991)(Interplay Productions, Inc.) [Strategy].zip - taken from TGOD#2493, 720k version. * Lexi-Cross (1991)(Interplay Productions, Inc.) [Strategy].zip - Installed copy of the above. Added TSR crack and start.bat to play. Crack has a bug in that sound cannot be turned off. * Lexi-Cross (Installer) [a1] (1991)(Interplay Productions, Inc.) [Strategy].zip - taken from TGOD#2494, 360k version * Lexi-Cross [a1] (1991)(Interplay Productions, Inc.) [Strategy].zip - Installed version of TGOD#2494, see 720k version for notes. * Lexi-Cross [a2] (1991)(Interplay Productions, Inc.) [Strategy].zip - Scene release, but source unknown. two readme files, one with spelling errors so maybe two munged versions or beta. Scene release by group genesis (GNX-LEX.ZIP) which claims to be from 1995, timestamps confirm. However the game is obviously from 1991 and the nfo file says there is no copy protection which is patently false and easy to verify. Smells like a faked scene release from another group. Likely played, as there are user profiles for chris, christ, and jenny. This release has been used in other abandonware sites and torrents but in an even further played state. * Life & Death II- The Brain v1.3 (Installer) (1991)(The Software Toolworks, Inc.) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - 4x720k version. No source material available. May be copy-proection free or already cracked. Sadly this version is tzipped. * Life & Death II- The Brain v1.3 [f1] (1991)(The Software Toolworks, Inc.) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - run setup.bat before running to set video and sound modes. * Life & Death II- The Brain v1.1 (Es) (1991)(The Software Toolworks, Inc.) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - source unknown, has double installation for EGA/VGA so technically an [f1], crushed timestamps and likely not from 1991. * Line Wars v1.12 [h1] (1989)(Patrick Aalto) [Action].zip - completely hacked into a new game called Lazer Squad (1991)(Microillusions) [Action].zip * Links- The Challenge of Golf v1.52 (Installer) (1991)(Access Software, Inc.) [Simulation, Sports].zip - for whatever reason, installing from A: to C: works, but from a mounted CD drive of E: to C: did not. * Links- Championship Course - Pinehurst Resort & Country Club (Installer) (1991)(Access Software, Inc.) [Simulation, Sports, Addon].zip - appears to be from 1.44mb or 1.2mb as the entire course is available in 1 file and not split across disks. Does not include golf.exe, so may be incomplete.

Another version of this game in uncompressed but identical form has also been identified, but not included in TDC.

All other text in that region of the file is all in English, so it looks like that was a missed translation conversion that was caught and fixed in early 1992. * Mad TV (EGA) (En)(De) (1991)(Rainbow Arts Software GmbH) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - the result of the above installer * Mad TV (EGA) (En)(De) [a1] (1991)(Rainbow Arts Software GmbH) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - larger mtv.exe file, and resource1 file.

Data disk release version, which checks for key disk from the original lemmings game. The TSR crack from rawcopy (available in stand-alone version) works with this version. This archive otherwise has a byte crack which is rather extensive. * Oh No! More Lemmings (Stand-Alone) v1.8 (1991)(Psygnosis Limited) [Strategy, Action].zip - 720k version. Sourced from IMA/kfx set from TDC's images collection. This game was released in at least two formats: stand-alone and as a data disk. Both are v1.8 (to find the version#, go to new level and type in VERSIONNUM) both are dated 11/14/1991 so we can't denote them with a release # or version #. The stand-alone version utilizes a doc check before starting the game. The data-disk version performs a key disk check on an original Lemmings disk. This uses a TSR crack from rawcopy. It does not seem to work with the batch file, but can be run by executing the LEM_TSR and then VGALEMMI.

* Pref Club [a1] (1991)(IBS) [Strategy, Cards].zip - torrentzipped, main .exe files are a basic match except base copy is lzexe'd. there are still changes to other files to warrant this one's inclusion for the moment. * Prehistorik (En)(De)(Fr)(It)(Es) [a1] (1991)(Titus Interactive S.A.) [Action].zip - Completely different .exe file, but likely due to unpacking from compression. * QBasic Gorillas (1991)(IBM, Microsoft Corporation) [Action].zip - This is the PC-DOS release by IBM with IBM trademarks. * Questprobe- Featuring Human Torch and the Thing v1.72 [f1] (1991)(Keypunch Software, Inc.) [Adventure].zip - likely the re-release from keypunch because it has a file FANTFOUR.TXT dated 1991 and is very similar to other keypunch scott adams releases of this era. The game uses a very old dos call (int 21 func. 0f) to open a datafile called SPL53P.DAT, but it tries to read in a filename called "SPL???.DAT" This patch changed fantfour.exe file and changed the "???" to "53P" so the filename is correct since there is only SPL file. The FANTFOUR.EX_ may have been modified by keypunch to remove copy protection. It does not exactly match the 1985 release from Adventure International. Or it was cracked before the fix was applied. See same title under 1985 notes. Fix:

This has a sherman.exe timestamped from 1991 (may not be originally this way) but when uncompressed it is a different version than the 1990 or 1994 release. It asks what equipment is available at the CGA/EGA/VGA prompt and then does not display the Loriciel logo on the main menu (at least in CGA). * Sid Meier's Civilization v474.01 (1991)(MicroProse Software, Inc.)

Smith) [Strategy].zip - this is a rebrand of plain ole Squares by the same author. * StarFight v3.4 [SW] (1991)(Matthew Miller) [Strategy].zip - Unlikely to work in DOSBox with GWBASIC with issues on the screen command. Does function on a 486 with VGA but only if loading one of the sample games, otherwise a subscript out of range pops up on randomized games. * Starquake [a1] (1988)(ShareData, Inc.)

See Skull Quest I in 1993. * Street Rod 2- The Next Generation [h1] (1991)(California Dreams) [Racing - Driving, Simulation].zip - uncracked, compressed and heavily text modified .exe file, without any particular reasons. (eg, every "1" in a price has been changed to a space character. ?!) * Strike II [a1] (1991)(Millennium Interactive Ltd.) [Action, Strategy].zip - Different build but no version numbers. It's quite possible the non [a1] is bad, as it appears to be missing EGA graphic files compared to this one. * Stunts v1.1 (1991)(Brøderbund Software, Inc.) [Simulation, Racing - Driving][!].zip - 4x360k, sourced from kfx/ima [!] set. Using Akuma's stunts.com crack loader. setup has 2 copy steps (DISK A,B) so it feels like this was a botched 720k distribution on 4x360k disks. Seems to have trouble with DOSBox 74-3 running in MCGA mode. Other graphics modes work. DOSBox-TC works fine in MCGA. Still investigating... * Stunts v1.1 [a1] (1991)(Brøderbund Software, Inc.) [Simulation, Racing - Driving].zip - sourced from known good kfx/ima set, 2x720k. main.res is different; it has different messages about disk numbers, otherwise identical. In this version default.rpl is duplicated across both disks, disk1's copy would be overwritten during install by disk2's, so disk1's was renamed to default1.rpl * Supaplex (demo) (1991)(Digital Integration Ltd.) [Strategy, Action].zip - Doesn't have a code entry to jump to another level, text inside supaplex.exe says "congratulations on completing all 3 levels" vs "111 levels" in the main program. * Supaplex v6.3 [f1] (1991)(Digital Integration Ltd.)

[a1] (1991)(GameTek, Inc) [Strategy].zip - Title (credits) screen is inverted compared to non a1. weird. * Super Tetris (Installer) [f1] (1991)(Spectrum Holobyte, Inc.) [Action, Strategy][!].zip - 720k files matched the 360k files from multiple disk dumps, so this is a known good copy. The installer insists on performing some kind of validation that it is installing from an actual disk. This does not appear to be copy protection, but is annoying enough to warrant the removal of it, as it will otherwise refuse to install in dosbox or on a real machine using SUBST. The game still has manual protection, which can be removed using rawcopy, nevlock etc or just using the installed version from TDC. * Supremacy- Your Will Be Done (Installer) (1991)(Virgin Mastertronic Ltd.) [Strategy].zip - sourced from 5x360k IMA set. No installation really needed, run setup.bat (added) to modify settings.

Filimonova) [Strategy, Action].zip - corrupt title screen, but otherwise plays fine. A fixed copy is available as the base version of this title. * Tetcolor [a1] (1991)(Sergey Sotnikov) [Strategy, Action].zip - minor byte differences, possibly due to different compression used. non [a1] is "infected" with MsDoS signature at the end of .exe file. * Tetcolor [f1] (1991)(Sergey Sotnikov) [Strategy, Action].zip - opening title and date changed. The EXE was modified in order to be able to get the scores higher then 100000 (in the original version after reaching 100000 the score went back to 0). The EXE is also MsDoS tagged. * Think Cross [h1] (1991)(Max Design) [Stategy, Action].zip - Graffiti intro credits * ThunderBlade (1991)(Kixx) [Action][!].zip - taken from the kfx/ima set of the same name.

* American Tail, An (Installer) (1992)(Capstone Software) [Adventure].zip - sourced from 5x720k IMA set, no installation actually required, just run PKCONFIG to set up hardware and then AMTAIL to start. Disks 3,4,5 all contained a file named VIGNETTS.ACT, of which files on disk 3,5 matched. Disk 4's VIGNETTS.ACT is renamed here as VIGNETTS.AC4. This was done assuming that on an installation, disk 5 would be the last disk so it would overwrite whatever file was on disk4. Text drawing in the game (e.g., title text) is broken for Tandy graphics, leading to a crash or other malfunction because CPU instructions are overwritten with graphics data. There does not appear to be a trivial fix in this case. You may notice a long pause at startup with Tandy graphics, which is due to the logo program (CAPSTONE.EXE) only supporting video modes 0Dh (EGA) and 13h (MCGA/VGA), proceeding even if mode 0Dh is not functional on the system. It's not a showstopper like the text drawing issue, but further reflects a lack of care for Tandy graphics. The Tandy sound option will only work on a system that has certain BIOS signatures. FWIW, the signature check can be bypassed by modifying AMTAIL.EXE offset 94C0 from E8 55 to EB 12, which will allow the tandy=on setting in DOSBox to work with EGA or VGA graphics options. Crack:

With the contents of QUELDISK currently set to "z" it appears that is hard drive specific. The game has a doc check woven into gameplay by testing you for spies when selecting a Mission.

Unfortunately the original filenames don't work with our uncracked naming convention, so elysium.01_ should actually be elysium.001 * Elysium (VGA) (De) (1992)(Magic Bytes) [Strategy].zip - there's a weird folder under the picture folder which has an extended character filename.

* Expert Puzzles and Mazes (1992)(Expert Software, Inc.) [Strategy, Puzzle, Compilation].zip - installed version. Note the & changed to "and" in the title between installer and installed. The first game in the compilation is the updated version (1991 Expert Edition) of Satori (1990)(Rinzai Satori) [Strategy].zip. The second game is "Expert Picture Puzzle" by that very J. Brook Monroe who earlier used to work under 'Rinzai Satori' alias. As far as I see this game was never distributed outside of the compilation. The third and last game is "3D Maze" Expert Edition v1.02 by Wolfgang Stiller. TDC has earlier versions of it: Maze v3.0.5 [SW] (1988)(Wolfgang Stiller) [Strategy].zip and Maze v3.0.6 [SW] (1988)(Wolfgang Stiller) [Strategy].zip. * Eye of the Beholder v1.7 (Installer) (1992)(Strategic Simulations, Inc.)

[Action, Adventure, Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - Installed and cracked release of above, this is actually identical to v1.6 except the ASCII string in START.EXE was changed from v1.6 to v1.7! The installer has 1992 timestamps yet the installed game is all 1991. Put here in 1992 to align with the installer. * F.Godmom v4.0 [SW][a1] (1992)(Soggybread Software) [Action, Strategy].zip - appears to be a slightly earlier version of 4.0. at least it's not t-zipped * F-15 Strike Eagle II & Operation Desert Storm v451.03 (1992)(MicroProse Software, Inc.)

Taylor) [Strategy, Action].zip * First Expedition v4.0 (Installer) [SW] (1992)(Steve Englestad) [Role-Playing (RPG), Simulation].zip - Installer copies files from a:\ex1 but none of the copies discovered to date maintained the directory structure, so it's unclear which exact files are supposed to be in that folder. This is a best guess. Technically [b1], but still works. * Four Crystals of Trazere, The v1.02 (1992)(Mindscape, Inc.) [Adventure, Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - Press V to get version #. Full version is "1.02 USA". To change video, mouse and sound look for "Legend v1.02 (1992)(Mindscape, Inc.) [Configuration Utility].zip" in TDC\Games\Applications which is a hacked version of install.exe which allows the game to be modified without a full install. * Future Wars- Adventures in Time (1992)(Interplay Productions, Inc.)

No copy protection! * Future Wars- Adventures in Time v1.4 (Es) (1992)(Delphine Software International) [Adventure].zip - Gruby (Maxi Juegos #20) looks real; 1x3.5HD, seems partially translated; if wrong doc check answers are provided (have to use original part01 file) the fail message is in english. crack:

Game is in English still, documentation re-written, bundled with some other shareware items. * Games- Summer Challenge, The (1992)(Accolade, Inc.)

* Hook (Installer) (En)(De)(Fr)(It)(Es) [a1] (1992)(Ocean Software Ltd.) [Adventure].zip - Installer was built on July 02 1992 vs June 23 1992 * Hook (Installer) (En)(De)(Fr)(It)(Es) [a2] (1992)(Ocean Software Ltd.) [Adventure].zip - a single byte difference in install.exe which appears to be copy protection related, but not sure how/why. Hook otherwise installs a unique copy per machine and thus TDC will not accept any post-installed copies into the archive unless they are determined to be unique, like CGA only, prototypes, etc. * Hot Rubber (1992)(Microïds) [Racing - Driving, Simulation, Sports][!].zip - sourced off known good kfx/ima set 2x720k. the label file on the floppies is GP yet the batch file is HOT and GP and LOGO.CPV is a copy of PRESENTE.CPV hence the publisher and titlescreen showing twice. If this is a known good dump, it's a known horrible conversion from Hot Rubber to Grand Prix 500 2! * Hot Rubber (1992)(Microïds, Palace Software, Ltd.) [Racing - Driving, Simulation, Sports].zip - scene release, appears to have been a 4x360k version. Has Palace Software logo at start. INTROCGA requires PRESENTS.CGA which is missing from this distribution but may have been published that way (see how sloppy the original Microids release was) Many files seem to have invalid DOS timestamps, like from 2071, which then appear to have been corrected to the current time when the zip file was repacked/recompressed. * Humans, The v0.3 (1992)(GameTek, Inc.) [Strategy][!].zip - Taken from Humans, The v0.3 (1992)(GameTek, Inc.) [IMA][720k][!].zip set in TDC. This title in particular is confusing with the Insult to Injury upgrade being released as both a standalone and an upgrade, plus the title screen not changing for each release. One has to go off the starting level to determine which. Crack (after decryption/decompression of humans.exe):

[Adventure, Educational].zip - Likely installed+played as it has resource files that are larger than what come on a floppy. Possibly taken off CD. * Ishar- Legend of the Fortress (En)(De)(Fr)(It) (1992)(Silmarils) [Action, Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - sourced from IMA image in TDC floppy collection, which came from archive.org * Ishar- Legend of the Fortress CD (En)(De)(Fr)(It) (1992)(Silmarils) [Action, Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - from Games Gold CD collection Disk 8 (Ishar Trilogie) redump#38850 - also identical to Adventure Games Fun Collection Vol. 2 redump#20422. also matches PLC 10 Software Classics Vol 4. START.EXE's date is 1994, so the CD version should probably be relocated to that year. * Ishar- Legend of the Fortress (En)(De)(Fr)(It) [a1] (1992)(Silmarils) [Action, Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - taken from x360k floppy set, tgod001303 which is now Ishar- Legend of the Fortress (En)(De)(Fr)(It) (1992)(Silmarils) [IMA][360k].zip * Ishar- Legend of the Fortress [a1] (1992)(Silmarils) [Action, Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - seems like it's a multi-4, since it asks you what language at the start, but it doesn't actually let you select, and ends up being in Spanish anyway! * International Sports Challenge (1992)(Empire Software) [Sports].zip - cracked .exe file was originally hacked too. The CD compilation "Addictive- Suchtfaktor 300% Vol.2 (1996)(Prism Leisure Corporation Plc) [Compilation].zip" contains the same game exe (MEN.EXE) so that file was re-cracked without the hack to fix this zip. Unfortunately the timestamp on MEN.EXE from the CD is from 1996 where the game itself is from 1992. Per an Italsoft release of this game, which has an uncracked MEN.EXE, the timestamp is 1992/07/10 @ 11:56:06. That is at least in line with the release date and other files, so may be close. The date is probably right, the time has probably also been corrupted by timezone changes. crack:

[Simulation][!].zip - requires cputype=386_prefetch in dosbox configuration * Jetfighter- The Adventure v1.6B (Installer) [a1] (1992)(Velocity Inc.) [Simulation].zip - taken off original disk. Install.exe and the self extracting jetfight.exe are different than the non a1, which results in file differences for OR99.EXE and ORAA.EXE. Both versions pass the data integrety check in the installer, both versions say 1.6B * JetFighter II- Operation Lighting Storm (Installer) (1992)(Velocity Inc.) [Simulation, Addon].zip - standalone mission disk installer. Requires jf2 to already be installed. Unknown source. Different than the mission disk installer listed below. * JetFighter II- Operation Lightning Storm v1.1B (Installer) (1992)(Velocity Inc.) [Simulation].zip - taken from IMA files of the same name. This is perhaps a homebrewed set of game+mission disk, as there are no references of both being released together in the bundle and the name of this zip is not entirely accurate since the name is only the mission disk. The game version is unique to this set of disks. * JetFighter II- Operation Lightning Storm v1.1B (1992)(Velocity Inc.)

Grab the [a1] [ISO] version instead. * Jump Jet [h1][f1] (1992)(Prism Leisure Corporation Plc) [Simulation].zip - 1992 re-release of the 1988 game. Sourced from 720k IMA from the TDC images collection. Prism Leisure added JJCHT.EXE/DAT as a crack for the key disk protection, then oldgames.ru added crazykey.com and go.com and modified jumpjet.bat to get the game working in DOSBox. [f1] Works fine in DOSBox-x without the added patches. "DOSBox-0.73 IRQ6 Fix - A modified version of DOSBox-0.73 with IRQ 6 interrupt emulation, which is necessary for the normal operation of the protection of the games Dragon Spirit, Football Manager 2, Jump Jet (Harrier Mission).

* Mad TV (Es) (1992)(Rainbow Arts Software GmbH) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - similar to the re-releases for French, this conversion asks for German/English if MTV is run without a command line parameter. The English version has no text messages on the main menu. The German version displays Spanish, but only partially translated. The only reason this one is not tagged as [tr Es] is that it appears to be an official release per mobygames, albeit an obviously sloppy one. * Mad TV (Es) [a1] (1992)(Rainbow Arts Software GmbH) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - different sized resource file. * Mad TV (Installer) (En)(De) (1992)(Rainbow Arts Software GmbH) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - sourced from 1x1.2mb version, says 1991 on floppy sleeve but source1.exe+2 are from 31 January 1992 * Magic Candle II, The- The Four and Forty v2.0 (1992)(Mindcraft Software, Inc.)

[IMA][1220k].zip Generates the same installed product as the base installer except for the readme. The change to the readme is merely "requires 5mb of free space" * Magic Candle II, The- The Four and Forty [a1] (1992)(Mindcraft Software, Inc.) [Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - unknown source (not to be confused with what the [a1] Installer produces). Different readme.txt file, and small handful of binaries changed. Possiblt due to playing but that doesn't explain the readme. * Magic Candle II, The- The Four and Forty v1.20 (Installer) (1992)(Mindcraft Software, Inc.)

An install file is 0 bytes, so possibly bad, but there are other VIPS titles that that file can likely be sourced from. This is related to the 1996 demo, but oddly this is earlier although the timestamps on the files don't match. * Many Faces of Go, The v8.03 (Installer) (1992)(Ishi Press International) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - uses "copy /v" in the install.bat files which DOSBox doesn't support. Edit the .bat files to remove that switch-it's useless. * Mario Teaches Typing (Installer) (1992)(Interplay Entertainment Corp.) [Educational].zip - May be a beta, certainly an early release. Unsure of source. * Mario Teaches Typing (Installer) [a1] (1992)(Interplay Entertainment Corp.) [Educational][!].zip - matches tgod3206 and others, hence the [!]. Differences between this release and the "beta":
- different files SETUP.EXE, MARIO.EXE, MAINMENU.CRX, LOGO.CRX
- the new student key was changed to W (from N in base)
- the description for [D] was changed to Demo (from Clr Stdnt in base)
-- says press 1,2,3,4 to play Demo (base has no reference for Demo and pressing numbers starts Lessons instead)
- both HELP sections show DEMO for D so the base must be a BETA?
- the NEXT key was changed to N (from X in base)
- Credits changed: Tom Decker -> Thomas R. Decker

[Educational].zip - 1.2mb release, tgod 3208. from oct 1992. - addedd as a2 since base and a1 have installers so admittedly the naming is slightly confusing. Diffs:
- ENGLISH.MSD
-- text differences
--- (unused) Customize Lessons -> Customize lessons
--- (unused) Advanced Teporting -> Advanced reporting
-- (unused) "L for cLassroom control"
-- missing error text "File Too Big (2K max).Not An ASCII Text File!.Unable To Open That File!"

Has no sound. * Mega Phoenix, Hammer Boy (1992)(Dinamic Software) [Action, Compilation].zip - Currently unsure if this is a partial release of a mega-box compilation or if this is standalone 2 game compilation which Dinamic also liked to produce. * Negra Noche (Es) [a1] (1993)(Carlos Martinez Aguirre) [Adventure, Interactive Fiction].zip - same game but different documentation. Looks like this is a slightly older release and the base version was updated in 2000. * MegaTraveller 2- Quest for the Ancients v1.04.02 (1992)(Paragon Software Corporation) [Action, Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - Applied 1.04.02 patch to v1.0 to update. crack:

* Oklib's Revenge [a1] (1992)(Sue Medley) [Adventure, Interactive Fiction].zip - I believe this is simply a recompile of the 1992 version to a later AGT engine, so this is why I'm keeping it 1992. * Olympic Games 92 (Es) [h1] (1992)(Opera Soft S.A.)

We don't currently have proof this was actually distributed this way by looking at an original 3.01 disk that has the 3.0 readme. * Overkill v111292 [SW][a1] (1992)(Epic MegaGames, Inc.) [Action].zip - European version. Non A1 is USA/Canadian * Oxyd v3.0 (En)(De)(Fr) (1992)(Dongleware Verlags GmbH) [Strategy, Action].zip - (all versions of oxyd) Oxyd uses a weird system to prevent sharing of level codes between users. It actually modifies one of its files based on the user system, apparently, once you finish level 10, and generates system-specific level codes for the future levels. The issue with this of course is that there are endless variants of this game just changing this one file. Similar to high score files basically. We need to make sure to track down an unmodified original and not let in aX that just differs for this file, even if the file looks like a binary, not a user file. Also, it means any level code lists are useless. Modified file: oxyd1ibm.dat Original info post on another forum:

* PowerMonger (Installer) (1992)(Electronic Arts, Inc.) [Strategy][!].zip - Taken from 3x720k IMA files from TDC floppy collection. Contents are identical to the 2x1.2mb floppy version from Tgod. The installer wants the floppy label to match the current drive it's being installed from. There is not currently a fixed version for this, but the install.exe is easy to text hack at offset 0x28a9 to reflect whatever label you'd like. * Premier Manager 2 (1993)(Gremlin Graphics Software Ltd.)

Might be incorrect technically to put this in 1992 or even release it bundled with the game. * Race for the West (1992)(Entrex Software Inc.) [Adventure, Simulation, Strategy].zip - Sourced from archive.org. IMA file available in TDC's images collection. Every time these entrex titles are played, the VOL file gets 2 bytes written at offset 0x414, possibly as a timestamp. Sadly this ensures that no two versions will ever be the same unless we find pristine images. The game does appear to run if the VOL file is set to read-only which would prevent such modifications. * Rampart (VGA) [a1] (1992)(Electronic Arts, Inc.)

Uses a hacked up locksmith TSR crack which pypasses the screen and pause before starting the game. * Ween- The Prophecy (Installer) (De) (1992)(Coktel Vision) [Adventure].zip - sourced from 5x1.44mb IMA set. installer is multi-language, game is always in German. * Ween- The Prophecy (De) (1992)(Coktel Vision) [Adventure].zip - LOADER.COM is the crack * Ween- The Prophecy (Installer) (Es) (1992)(Coktel Vision) [Adventure].zip - sourced from IMA set, thankfully also available as a scene release so we were able to restore the missing disk content, even with accurate file dates. * Ween- The Prophecy (Installer) [a1] (1992)(Coktel Vision) [Adventure].zip - unknown source, but it's from a 5x1.44mb set. Installer is multi-language, but the game itself comes up in english every time. * Ween- The Prophecy [a1] (1992)(Coktel Vision) [Adventure].zip - different INTRO.STK from this installer. loader.com is the crack * Wizkid- The Story of Wizball II (En)(De)(Fr) (1992)(Ocean Software Ltd.) [Action].zip - The current date is recorded inside wizkid.exe after ever launch of the game. This creates new CRCs every time the game is used, so no more versions of this game will be accepted unless we can locate a virgin copy. * Wolfenstein 3D v1.4 [SWR][a2] (1992)(Apogee Software, Ltd.) [Action].zip - Different data regions (likely graphics) compared to [a1]. Not likely due to corruption. * Word Rescue- Part 2 [a1] (1992)(FormGen, Inc.)

[Racing - Driving, Simulation][!].zip - Sourced from tgod, ibmpc5150 and ARj0n sets which have identical content but different FAT data in the IMA files. * World Series of Poker Adventure v1.4 (Installer) (1992)(Mojave Software, Inc.) [Strategy, Cards].zip - requires a bit of futzing in DOSBox to make install work. After installation, no tricks are required.
Creating a DEV subdirectory off the root directory of the install target drive works around the problem; but because the installer can also test the Z: drive, another workaround of moving Z: to B: is needed.

mount a c:\floppy\wsop -t floppy
mount -z b
mount c c:\dosgames

* All About Our World (Installer) [f1] (1993)(Focus Media, Inc.) [Educational, Compilation].zip - fixed cmake.bat to use DISK2, DISK3 folders instead of assuming a disk swap. 3HD.BAT had a bug which changed to \hotline instead of \nutritn * All About Our World (1993)(Focus Media, Inc.) [Educational, Compilation].zip - game title screens are all from 1991, but the installer has 1993 markings as well as some 1994 timestamps. * Aoki O-kami to Shiroki Mejika- Gencho- Hishi (Jp) [b1] (1993)(KOEI Corporation) [Strategy].zip - has an insanely convoluted installation method with a teledisk image, see release.nfo. Tagged as bad until this one can be cleaned up. * APBA Major League Players Baseball- Deluxe Edition v1.5 (Installer) (1993)(Miller Associates) [Simulation, Sports, Compilation].zip - SYNdicate scene release, appears to be from 6x360k floppies. Synd called it "APBA Baseball v1.5 Deluxe" but the game reports the title as "Master Edition v2.0". Super confusing as to how this was released, and it's a compilation of material, so no one title seems to accurately depict what is available. There was a ton of stuff in the NFO file about the disks, and almost no information online on this title, so info is copied here. --- This is APBA Baseball v1.5 Deluxe. this is the DOS version. Classic APBA Baseball Deluxe, developed by Miller Associates, is an upgraded, expanded version of the classic APBA Baseball. It is an entirely separate product from APBA Baseball for Windows. APBA Baseball Deluxe also includes the following disks: Disk 1/6: APBA Baseball 1.5 Deluxe Disk 2/6: APBA Baseball General Manager Disk 3/6: APBA Baseball Statmaster v2.2 for DOS Disk 4/6: APBA Baseball Micromanager for DOS Disk 5/6: APBA Baseball Advanced Draft v2.0 APBA Baseball Old Timers Disk #1 Disk 6/6: APBA Baseball 1993 Data Disk Disk2 Published by Computer Sports Network and developed by Miller Associates, General Manager arranged and schedules on-line leagues, accessed rough your computer and modem, established for APBA Baseball. With General Manager, you can draft your team and make trades with other managers. You'll manage your club rough its season, competing against the other managers in your league. General Manager includes Advanced Player Management. That means a manager must monitor his player usage very carefully. A tired player may not perform as well as he normally would, and will be more susceptible to injury. This adds another element of realism to the role of an APBA manager in GM's on-line leagues. Disk3 StatMaster v2.2 is just what you need to maintain cumulative stats for your APBA Baseball Leagues. StatMaster keeps extensive batting pitching, and fielding stats - both team and individual. It includes improved reports and 7 new leader boards, permits up to 1,200 players on a data disk, and lets you display multiple StatMaster screens - up to 50 at once - on your monitor. StatMaster v2.2 performs updates about 4 times faster than previous versions. Disk4 MicroManager for DOS has 2 different managers for use with the APBA Baseball game. Blackie Dugan Jr. is the computer manager and he's a sharper skipper and the first generation of APBA computer managers. They are built-in managers. They both know how and when to choose relievers, when to bring the infield in, when the sacrifice or hit- and-run is a sound strategy, and even when a double switch is appropriate. Disk5 Advanced Baseball Draft v2.0 lets you search for and sort players by both primary and secondary positions. Sort by batting average, on-base percentage, speed, steal rating, runs created/game, total runs created, earned run average, innings pitched or batting or rowing "handedness". With the "Pankin Optimizer," Advanced Draft will suggest lineups drawn from your team's personnel at will maximize run production. And the Markov Expected Runs Calculation estimates how many runs a suggested lineup will average. Old-timers data disk #1 contains the following teams: 1909 Detroit 1906 Chicago 1917 Chicago 1934 St. Louis 1924 Washington 1953 Brooklyn 1927 New York 1954 New York 1931 Philadelphia 1957 Milwaukee 1946 Boston 1960 Pittsburgh 1954 Cleveland 1963 Los Angeles 1970 Baltimore 1969 New York 1972 Oakland 1976 Cincinnati 1977 New York 1980 Philadelphia Disk6 This is the 1993 Major League Baseball data disk for APBA Baseball. It also includes an on-disk season schedule. ---- This game also has unusual behavior upon exiting. Per ripsaw8080:The GM (Game Manager) crashes the system in DOSBox's internal DOS emulation when exiting back to DOS. It happens because the game does something rather unusual with the SFT (System File Table), for which DOSBox has very limited support. Games generally don't use the SFT directly, nor should they, but it seems this game uses it to close all open files, even those that might belong to other processes, which is really not good programming practice. In any case, due to minimal support for the SFT, the game corrupts memory control block structures and precipitates a crash when memory is freed during termination. The problem can be worked around in DOSBox by setting the reported version of DOS to 3.x (e.g., VER SET 3 30) because the game doesn't mess with the SFT in that case. * Armada (1993)(Villa Crespo Software, Inc.) [Strategy][!].zip - Multiple copies of this disk revealed a matching file set even though both disks were modified. This version loads slower than the 1992 release because it was compressed to fit on a 720k disk instead of a 1.2mb or 1.44mb. * Aspar GP Master (1993)(Dinamic Software, Prism Leisure Corporation Plc) [Racing - Driving].zip - sourced from Hits for 6 volume 1 compilation. This version is in English via direct hex editing of ASPEGA.R1 when compared to the Es version in 1989. * BackGround Tetris [a2] (1993)(AlexGraf) [Strategy, Action].zip - compressed. may match other version when UNPed. * BackGround Tetris [a3] (1993)(AlexGraf) [Strategy, Action].zip - yet another different sized file. * Backyard, The v1.1 [f1] (1993)(Broderbund Software, Inc.) [Educational].zip - part of the playworld series. Fixed to allow batch files to work under dosbox; original files are available as *.BA_ * Battle Chess (Installer) (1993)(Dice Multi Media Europe B.V.) [Strategy, Chess].zip - Not 100% sure on this zip being that exact release, but the timestamps do line up correctly with mobygame's release info. * Berenstain Bears, The- Volume One - Learning at Home (Installer) (1993)(Compton's New Media, Inc.) [Adventure, Educational].zip - CD-ZIP of the bin cue under the same name. Game apparently looks for file cdton0 in the root folder or %CDROM% folder so you may have ot keep the CD mounted after installing til we can come up with an installed version that fixes this. * Best of Microprose, The v1.1 (Installer) (1993)(MicroProse Software, Inc.)

[Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - From 101 Only the Best Games #3 (1995) - older demo missing the Sierra call in number on last demo page. Should maybe be moved to 1995? * Betrayal at Krondor v1.02 (1993)(Dynamix, Inc.) [Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - This is v1.0 upgraded using the update patch. * Betrayal at Krondor v1.02 (Installer) (1993)(Dynamix, Inc.) [Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - sourced from known good IMA/KFX image set. Note the readme in this installer still says v1.0 and the internal version says v1.2 but the floppy labels themselves say v1.02 * Bible Paint and Learn v3.0 [FW] (1993)(SONsoft) [Educational].zip - Not sure what the relationship is with ARK multimedia- this version has no reference to ark, but 2.0 does and dino p+l from the same year also does. * Bio Menace- Episode One to Three [SWR][a1] (1993)(Apogee Software, Ltd.)

[Action].zip - "debug" version. Has "CODE .91827." added with clippping/slow motion on/off support. * Bio Menace- Episode Three- Master Cain v1.1 [SWR][a1] (1993)(Apogee Software, Ltd.) [Action].zip - see above * Bio Menace- Episode Two- The Hidden Lab v1.1 [SWR][a1] (1993)(Apogee Software, Ltd.) [Action].zip - see above * Black Sect (Fr) [a1] (1993)(Lankhor) [Adventure].zip - Appears to be a different build, all exe files are different sizes even after decompression. Source unknown. * Block-Man v1.0 [SW][a1] (1993)(Soleau Software, Inc.) [Strategy].zip - slightly different intro and exit screens. both are v1.0 Has files up to *.OV8 where other versions are limited to *.OV4 * Block-Man v1.0 [SW][a2] (1993)(Soleau Software, Inc.) [Strategy].zip - different build than base version, common OVx files. * Block-O-Mania [SWR] (1993)(Crystal Shard) [Strategy, Puzzle].zip - There is no year in the game itself, and the file dates are not original. When the author has added this game to Mobygames in 2009, he said it was 1989. But in 2018, when he posted it on his site [https://www.crystalshard.net/?p=8#] and made it completely freeware, he put '(c) 1993' into the Readme. I have asked him today which year is in fact correct - and he told me it is 1993 :) * Blue Force v1.11 (Installer) (1993)(Tsunami Media, Inc.) [Adventure].zip - This one is taken off the [bin-cue] which includes audio tracks but no demos. Technically _this_ archive is bad since it does not include the audio tracks. * Blues Brothers- Jukebox Adventure, The [f1] (1993)(Titus France SA) [Action].zip - Same crack and video fix as Razor [h1] version but no graffiti. Executable is packed with LZExe 0.91, same as what is inside the original executable (included as BLUES.CO_) after the encryption wrapper is removed. * Body Blows (Installer) (1993)(MicroLeague Interactive Software) [Action].zip - sourced from tgod 715. 1x1.44mb disk.

[Role-Playing (RPG), Strategy].zip - tzipped, has a number of bugs which exist in other distros too: 1. File FILM_08.ANI is corrupted, and is 20 bytes instead 2KB. It's the temple dialog animation, resulting in a monk has no animation and a rainbow band is all over picture. Can be fixed by replacing from the German version. 2. File of texts BURN.TXT somewhat mismatch the proper placement of strings, resulting in a loss of the first two lines of the endgame resume. Can be fixed, as it's pure text, but maybe it's the original bug. 3. main exe BURN.EXE is hacked to circumvent copy protection. I wasn't able to find any other English exe. Coincidentally, or as result of hack, all travel times now are 1 day. In German version times are different, and varies from 1 to 5 days, depending of distance between the settlements. It's definitely exe, as replacing English BURN.EXE with German one fixes this issue. Unfortunately, there are some German texts and voiceovers in this exe, so you cannot simply replace it and be happy. :( * Burntime [f1] (1993)(Ocean Software Ltd.) [Role-Playing (RPG), Strategy].zip - Engligh version as mentioned above, patched to fix the errors that exist in distribution and crack. Sadly still tzipped. Uses german burn.exe but there's still some german in it. * Burntime (Installer) (De) (1993)(Max Design GesMBH) [Role-Playing (RPG), Strategy].zip - sourced from 3x1.44mb IMA files. * Burntime (De) [f1] (1993)(Max Design GesMBH) [Role-Playing (RPG), Strategy].zip - Bug in the original BURN.TXT has somewhat mismatch the proper placement of strings, resulting in a loss of the first two lines of the endgame resume.

[Action, Simulation].zip - Actually says 1993 in the intro and "About" box when playing a mission as opposed to 1992/1994 in the (1994) release, even though all files have a 1995 file date. Argh. Otherwise, this is very similar to the 1994 release. * Companions of Xanth v1.0.1 (Installer) (1993)(Legend Entertainment Company) [Adventure][!].zip - 4x1.44mb sourced from kfx/ima set, IMA matches contents from TGOD#1336,1809 even though kfx dump is not pristine. * Companions of Xanth v1.1.0 (Installer) (1993)(Legend Entertainment Company) [Adventure][!].zip - sourced from 4x1.44mb known good kfx/ima dump * Conspiracy (En)(Fr)(De)(Es) (1993)(Virgin Interactive Entertainment (Europe) Ltd.)

While the installer is called "Corncob deluxe" the installed product is Corncob 3D v3.42 and does not include the other world campaign, so it's not really very "deluxe". * Daemonsgate (1993)(Imagitec Design Inc.)

I did not include the latter in the archive (it was not present in the Archive.org copy), but the first file (ecpics) has today's date. The pictures file in the Archive.org copy was dated 2005, but it was not 'empty' (some pictures were already colored). * Hot Rod Harry v1.4 (1993)(Waltware) [Adventure].zip - Run QMFIX.COM before running hotrod.bat or it'll crash with a garbage screen in DOSBox. * Hot Rod Harry v1.4 [a1] (1993)(Waltware) [Adventure].zip - Slightly different pcx files, may be a different version. "v1.4" suspect- no actual record of this info, but it matches what is floating around on the net. See above note about QMFIX. * Hovertank (1993)(Softdisk Publishing) [Action].zip - Yep, different than tha 1992 version, but no actual version # discovered. * if 2 (if2 戀愛白皮書) (Zh) [h1] (1993)(Active Software, Tan Ton Nerw Information Co., Ltd.) [Adventure, Adult].zip - cracked by mr cooldude message at startup. * In Extremis (Installer) (En)(Fr)(De)(It) (1993)(U.S. Gold Ltd.) [Action].zip - Built off tgod 000509 IMA set. That set is now in TDC floppy images collection. * In Extremis (En)(Fr)(De)(It) [f1] (1993)(U.S. Gold Ltd.) [Action].zip - fixed to allow multilanguage support without having to do a comlete re-install. crack after UNP.EXE:

* Inca II- Wiracocha v1.000 (Fr)(De)(En) [a1] (1993)(Sierra On-Line, Inc.) [Action, Adventure].zip - quite heavily modified INCA2.EXE when compared to base copy. It is cracked, and if this is the result of only a crack, that cracker went way overboard with modifications. Or perhaps an update patch was applied too? * Inca II- Wiracocha (De)(En)(Es)(Fr)(It) (1993)(Sierra On-Line, Inc.) [Action, Adventure].zip - source unknown. Already cracked. May not even be from 1993, timestamps are clearly wrong. * Inca II- Wiracocha v1.000 (Installer) (Fr)(De)(En) (1993)(Sierra On-Line, Inc.) [Action, Adventure][!].zip - 10 * 1.44mb version. Sourced from tgod 000255_inca_2.zip which matched tgod 001779_inca_2.zip. You'll need the crack or the crack+loader to bypass protection after installation. Crack+loader isn't as elegant of a crack, both still show copy protection screen at start. * Inca II- Wiracocha v1.300 (Installer) (En)(Fr)(De) (1993)(Sierra On-Line, Inc.) [Action, Adventure].zip - CD-ZIP of redump's bin-cue http://redump.org/disc/33194/ The installer has an option of Spanish language, but that's only for the installer process, not the game itself. * Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (1993)(Lucasfilm Games LLC) [Adventure].zip - CD-ZIP of redump's bin cue http://redump.org/disc/49050/ Full Talkie version. This also includes the indy fate demo, which is kind of weird. * Indianapolis 500- The Simulation (1993)(Electronic Arts, Inc.) [Racing - Driving, Simulation, Sports][!].zip - sourced from known good IMA set from TDC. Two files are from 1993, and those two files are different than the 1989 release. Cracked by Akuma. * Inindo- Way of the Ninja (Zh) [a1] (1993)(KOEI Co., Ltd.) [Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - very different main.exe * Innocent Until Caught v1.02 (De) [f1] (1993)(Psygnosis Limited) [Adventure].zip - fixed sound support. sound effects are not played when ct-voice.drv is not found. added the most compatible ct-voice.drv (will work on most soundcards) the patch looks for ct-voice.drv in the game folder instead of in PATH crack:

* Lethal Tender v129 (Installer) [a2] (1993)(Froggman) [Action].zip - No idea where the version number ever came from, but this appears to be a later release from the other v129's as the game text has been altered/improved. * Little Witch (Kr) [h1] (1993)(Ablex) [Action, Adventure].zip - normally this would be rejected as only having a loader/cracktro wrapped around an executable, but the executable itself is like 1/4 the size of the base version. LWBD.EXE calls LWBD.BLK. If renamed to .exe LWBD.BLK appears to run fine. * Loom v1.2 (Installer) (Es) (1993)(Lucasfilm Games LLC, Kixx-XL) [Adventure].zip - Sourced from 1x1.44mb IMA which appears to be a kixx-xl re-release (date inexact) due to the label "LOOM_XL" and the overall layout of the files. This version does not have the Roland Patch (files 82-85.LFL) * Loremaster (Installer) [a1] (1993)(Creative Software) [Adventure, Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - wont install in normal DOSBox, but will if you take the modified install.dat file from the non [a1]. Copy protection also intact, which you can bypass with L1.exe from the other archive. Not sure if these two could be merged as they may not be the same version of the game. * Lost Seal (失落的封印) (Zh) (1993)(Softstar Entertainment Inc.)

Source unknown. * Lost Vikings, The (Installer) (1993)(Interplay Productions, Inc.) [Action, Strategy][!].zip - sourced from known good kfx/ima. USA release. * Lost Vikings, The [a1] (1993)(Interplay Productions, Inc.) [Action, Strategy].zip - slightly different build. May have been from a compression/decompression cycle. Turns out the lost vikings likes to inject data into data.dat based on setup and machine hash. It's impractical to collect any further copies. * Lotus- The Ultimate Challenge v280793 (demo) [a1] (1993)(Gremlin Graphics Software Ltd.) [Racing - Driving].zip - dat file has a different level code embedded in it, yet it doesn't seem like the demo allows a code to be used. Confused by this. * Lotus- The Ultimate Challenge v150993 (1993)(Gremlin Graphics Software Ltd.) [IMA][1440k].zip taken from TGoD's 002368_lotus_the_ultimate_challenge.zip floppy * Luigi en Circusland (Es) [a1] (1994)(Topo Soft) [Action].zip - different (later?) build, shows a logo instead of fidonet address during title screen. Likely more differences too. * Mad TV (Installer) (En)(De) (1993)(Rainbow Arts Software GmbH) [Simulation, Strategy][!].zip - sourced from known good kfx/ima dumps. Has a timestamp on disk label from 1993 but all files are from 1991-Nov-25, including the text bug described in 1991 [a2]. This version may be a from a re-release which could explain the volume label dating to 1993. * Major Stryker v1.4 (Installer) [SW][a1] (1993)(Apogee Software, Ltd.)

There is also a release in 1996 which does not have copy protection. * Ortos (Pl) [f1] (1993)(ASF) [Educational].zip - Fix for DOSBox only. The game uses the system BIOS ROM contents combined with system time as an unorthodox form of random number generation. DOSBox emulates BIOS internally, and there are mostly zeroes in the ROM address space, so the RNG doesn't work too well. Ultima 7 does a similar thing to simulate television white noise in its intro sequence, which ends up looking mostly like a black screen in DOSBox for the same reason. Changing the program to use its own code segment instead of ROM fixes the issue: in ORTOS.EXE at offset 47B7D modify bytes B8 00 F0 to 8C C8 90. * Oxyd Magnum!

Gold v3 (Fr)(En)(De) [a1] (1993)(MicroProse Software, Inc.)

[Educational].zip - This is a module for Broderbund's entire "playworld" universe and thus installed into a larger system. The game is standalone but does not launch properly, as dosbox isn't parsing the batch files correctly (goto?). Fixed batch files to avoid the situtation, original batch files available as *.BA_ files. * Playroom, The v2.0 (Installer) (1993)(Brøderbund Software, Inc.) [Educational].zip - This installer calls itself Playworld, but installs the game Playroom. A bit confusing. It sets up the environment (batch files) for the other modules to be dropped in. * Playworld [f1] (1993)(Broderbund Software, Inc.)

As above, batch files fixed for DOSBox compatibility. * Porntris [a1] (1993)(Sexxy Software) [Strategy, Action, Adult].zip - Slightly smaller than non-[a1], which might be a patch. Needs investigation. * Prehistorik 2 [a1] (1993)(Titus France SA) [Action].zip - Originally cracked by hybrid, not sure where it came from. When released by hybrid it had an annoying loader wrapper around pre2.exe which was removed here. Doing that revealed a slightly different build of the game, but we're not sure what is actually different. The original hybrid versions are still available in older versions of TDC or in the "junk drawer" * Prophecy, The (Installer) (1993)(Sierra On-Line, Inc.) [Adventure].zip - sourced from 5x1.44mb IMA files. VERSION file is unique and duplicated across all disks, so renamed to VERSION.1, VERSION.2 etc. * Prophecy, The r930312 (1993)(Sierra On-Line, Inc.) [Adventure].zip - base release with official sierra speed patch applied. * Protec2 (En)(De) [SW][a1] (1993)(Wilfried Lottermoser) [Action].zip - updated doc file. yep, that's all. * Protostar- War on the Frontier v1.10k (Installer) (De) (1993)(Tsunami Media, Inc.) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - DISK4 has a duplicate filename as disk2, so there's no real good way to pack this one into a single zip. Here for tracking only, installed copy available.

* Protostar- War on the Frontier v1.10c (Installer) (1993)(Tsunami Media, Inc.) [Simulation].zip - this is the TRSI scene release. Won't install in DOSBox. There's a note that says: "I've gottem rid of most of the copy\protection on this game except for one stubborn spot. When you get in your ship for the first time it will say something like: Name this Collective (and give you a symbol) The Symbol is unimportant but match up, say, the world Collective with one of the following: Human Alliance Vantu Aristocracy Ghebraant Collective Kaynik Anarchy Derestan Bureaucracy Skeetch Empire That's it!

[Action, Adventure, Role-Playing (RPG)][!].zip - TDC has a kfx set but is modified by windows. Tgod's 3144 matches content and is unmodified by windows, so these files are [!]. Fixed installer to not need disk swaps. * Quest for Glory- Shadows of Darkness (CD-ROM) (demo) (1993)(Sierra On-Line, Inc.)

[Strategy].zip - two byte difference (0000 -> FFFF) between this and r930831 version. Possibly for timing. Updated docs too, seems to have been released a couple days later * Reach out for Gold [h1] (1993)(U.S. Gold Ltd.) [Sports, Action].zip - dual EGA/VGA installed copy, but reach.exe is the graffitied one from below. Added install.exe to allow config changes. * Reach out for Gold [h2] (1993)(U.S. Gold Ltd.)

Added install.exe to allow config changes. * Reach out for Gold (Installer) [h1] (1993)(U.S. Gold Ltd.) [Sports, Action].zip - repacked reach.lzh has the cracked and graffiti'ed (tdt) inside. That's handy for easy installation, but not so great for preservation. Best known dump. * Reach out for Gold (Installer) [h2] (1993)(U.S. Gold Ltd.) [Sports, Action].zip - oddly hacked install.exe which changed lha decompression to "pkz", which means that all of the installer archives also had to be repacked too. This installer is basically worthless as nothing in it is original. Installed reach.exe is identical to [h1] copy after taking runtime compression out. * Reaping the Dungeon v1.1 [SW][a1] (1993)(Frontline Software) [Adventure, Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - different phone number in .exe and supporting docs. technically a hack, but probably done by the author. * Return to Zork (Installer) [f1] (1993)(Activision, Inc.) [Adventure][!].zip - Taken from original disks, which are available in TDC. install.da_ is the original, which was modified (fixed) to allow installation without the installer asking for disk num x. File "DISK.ID" is renamed for each disk number as the filenames conflicted. use Return to Zork (1993)(Activision, Inc.) [Crack].zip after installation. * Robix v1.1 [SW][a1] (1993)(Soleau Software, Inc.) [Strategy].zip - just docs updated, not sure we really need this? * Robotlandia 93 (Роботландия 93) (Ru) [b1] (1993)(Robotlandia) [Educational].zip - some files are damaged. Also, it must be started with MONITOR.EXE, and it is not mentioned anywhere. Best known dump * Rome AD 92 (Es)(En) [a1] (1993)(Millennium Interactive Ltd.) [Adventure, Strategy].zip - has an english installer.exe. * Ruckus Poker r930802 (1993)(Villa Crespo Software, Inc.) [Strategy, Cards].zip - Sourced from 1x720k kfx/ima set. Lightly modified player message text files that do not appear due to hacking. Appears to also have a recompiled .exe. Closest to the version available on the Coffeebreak Collection CD, except for P1.EXE which is unique across all known copies of this game so far. * Ruckus Roulette [b1] (1993)(Villa Crespo Software, Inc.) [Strategy].zip - missing CBS2.EXE, possibly other files. Best known dump. CBS2.EXE added. This game has been ripped from the coffee break collection compilation, so the batchfiles are out of context, but the game is 100% functional. * Russian 6 Pak (Installer) [h1] (1993)(Interplay Productions, Inc.) [Compilation].zip - Graffiti install.exe. * Russian Business (1993)(Bogatyrev, Shevchenko, ИНФОРМАВТО) [Strategy, Action].zip - An otherwise unknown Russian game (in English). The company name is visible only in Russian Readme. The game asks for a 'contract number' on launch - but it accepts any number. The Readme says something unclear about this game being used in a lottery of some kind. * Sabre Team (Installer) (En)(De)(Fr)(It)(Es) (1994)(U.S. Gold Ltd.) [Strategy].zip - CD-ZIP of the ISO image of the same name, sourced from archive.org https://archive.org/details/Sabre_Team_1994_Krisalis. _likely_ the Kixx re-release. The installer barely copies any files to the hard drive and thus will only work when the CD files are still mounted. * Sabre Team (Installer) (En)(De)(Fr)(It)(Es) (1994)(Krisalis Software Ltd., MicroLeague Multimedia, Inc.) [Strategy].zip - 3 disk floppy version. Sourced from a scene release from group Phoenix * Sabre Team (Installer) (En)(De)(Fr)(It)(Es) (1994)(Krisalis Software Ltd.) [Strategy].zip - According to the above Phoenix scene release, this is a Beta. Install.exe is v1.04 as compared to v2.0 above. Once installed, the title screen does not show the Microleague logo. Minor text message differences detected between versions. * SALS - Shuttle Approach & Landing Simulator (demo) [a1] (1993)(Binary Star Ltd.) [Simulation].zip - main .exe is SALS_87 vs. SALS_86 in the base version. This is likely coprocessor support. * Sam & Max Hit the Road (Installer) (1993)(LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC) [Adventure].zip - you'll need to change DISKx.ID to DISK.ID as install progresses. disk.id #1 is never checked, but 2-7 are, so DISK.ID in this archive is already set to #2 to save you some time. After installing, grab the Sam & Max v1.0 crack from the TDC\Games\Cracks\ collection and run it. At protection screen, click on PUSH ME and wait. It should boot you into the game! - crack:

Try running it in CGA mode and you'll see a typo "This game requires and EGA or VGA Adapter!" which is corrected in the 1992 release.

* Sentinel Worlds I- Future Magic (1993)(Slash Corporation) [Adventure, Role-Playing (RPG)][!].zip - sourced from kfx/ima set, this is a 1993 reissue of the 1988 release. Must be played from root because of hardcoded paths in FMPLAY\SENTINEL.EXE or use the [f1] in 1988. * Serious Soccer (1993)(Virgin Games, Ltd.) [Sports].zip - since this is a re-release of Goal!, it has 6 language support files, but there are appear to be no options to change it. (may be a command line arg?) * Sexy Fighter (性感战士) (Zh) [a1] (1993)(Kingformation Co., Ltd.) [Adventure, Adult].zip - has different sized exe files, may be just compressed. has a room.mlm file and truth.exe which might just be a crack TSR. * Sichuan 3 (Zh) [h1] (1993)(Tiny Team) [Strategy, Adult].zip - hello.exe which is the game's launcher has a TDT wrapper crack around it. Both this and the h2 seem to be partially installed+installers, with an unknown file girlsfx.exe which includes girl.all which doesn't seem to be used in the game whatsoever. * Sichuan 3 (Zh) [h2] (1993)(Tiny Team) [Strategy, Adult].zip - Same TDT blurb as in [h1], but this appears to be a better version since the in-game backgrounds aren't garbled. * Siege v1.2 (Installer) (1993)(Action Sixteen) [Strategy].zip - CD-ZIP of the bin/cue redump CD http://redump.org/disc/38086/ availble in TDC under the same name.

I found if you try to change the path, type in a new one and then press ESCAPE instead of enter, then it will install. * SimCity 2000 (Installer) [a2] (1993)(Maxis Software Inc.) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - Both a1 and a2 have minor (2 bytes) changes in the same location on all of the video driver(?) files. This culminates in different simcity.exe and .dat files after installation. I don't think this is due to corruption, I think each game, like simAnt, is somehow tagged. * SimCity 2000 (Es) (1993)(Maxis UK Ltd.) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - Registration info is embedded in plaintext in SC2000.DAT files, causing all of them to be different after install. * SimCity 2000 (Es) [a1] (1993)(Maxis UK Ltd.) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - text string changes in main .exe. Not likely to be from a hax0r type, but looks like better translations to Spanish or mods to assist with extended character fonts. * SimCity 2000 (Installer) (It) (1993)(C.T.O.

Toton III, NecroBones Software) [Action].zip - this 1993 game appears to tbe transition point to when Ed Toton decided to use NecroBones Software as "publisher" but it seems to have been retroactively applied. * Slick Joe 1- Lost in Reno v3.0 [SW][f1] (1993)(Digital Reality) [Adventure].zip - has several dosbox compatibility issues, namely start.com tries to wildcard rename *.sj1 to *.pcx. Works in true DOS or DOSBox ECE 4185 (and later too, probably). * Sorcerer of Claymorgue Castle [f1] (1993)(Keypunch Software, Inc.) [Adventure, Interactive Fiction].zip - Sourced online, this is the re-release via keypunch who added their own logo to the game start. Fixed to work through a wildcard DOS open command that doesn't exist in new DOS versions. May be bad. File B019.PAK is 0 bytes in length. The 1987 release has a 128 byte file. The person who released of this version online claimed to have put the original unmodified copy of YOHO.EXE in the archive, but it was the same modified file. The YOHO.EX_ file in this archive was pulled from the starsoft games mega-pack collection and was originally called START.EXE. A little weird that the main launch file is called YOHO.EXE. It's that way in the keypunch release of Pirates of the Barbary Coast which makes way more sense. Was keypunch really that lazy? Patch:

The CD also includes Grandmaster Chess v1.1, but of course it's not quite the same version as Grandmaster Chess Deluxe as released on floppy. Supposedly this CD image is identical as the Grandmaster Chess CD-ROM. * Tesserae (En)(Fr)(De)(Es)(It) (1993)(GameTek, Inc.) [Strategy].zip - Using the configuration executable, when you set the language as spanish, the program shows the game in italian, and when you set the language as italian, the program shows the game in spanish..... Seems that the makers didn't had very clear the differences between the two languages * Tetris Gold (1993)(Spectrum Holobyte, Inc.) [Strategy, Action, Compilation].zip - CD-ZIP of the bin-cue available in TDC's images collection. (from redump) requires some odd dosbox mounting- e.g. mount E: as a CD and D: as a HDD. Run tetdos.exe from E: and tell it to use D: for temp folder. For whatever reason C: will not work. * Time Treks v1.2 (Installer) [f1] (1993)(Magic Quest Inc.) [Adventure, Educational].zip - Source unknown, appears to be 4x720k floppy version. Fixed installer script to not need disk swapping. DISK.ID file duplicated across all 4 disks, but renamed in this single archive. * Todaleun Jisig-ui Seongjeon (Temple of Another Lore) (Kr) [a1] (1993)(Ahn Young-Ki) [Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - Labeled "bug fix" on the nemo838 site; some files differ from the non-[a1], but unsure what the fix exactly is, so I labeled this [a1]. * Tortoise and the Hare, The (1993)(Interactive Publishing Corp.)

[Simulation].zip - 6x720k version. Source unknown, scene release via Razor. No floppy images yet. Installer appears to have been from Software Toolworks which was absorbed by TLC at some point in the 1990s. * Trump Castle 3 (Installer) [a1] (1993)(TLC Properties, Inc.) [Simulation].zip - 4x1.2mb version. Source unknown, no disk images yet. Same installer as base version, which appears to be from software toolworks. These installers let the user configure hardware and install select games. This installer fails to install a file UPL2MASK.VGA. The Capstone Software installer also does not install this file, so it's probably not used. * Trump Castle 3 CD-ROM (Installer) (1993)(Capstone Software) [Simulation].zip - CD-ZIP of the ISO image available in TDC's CD images collection. * Trump Castle 3 CD-ROM [f1] (1993)(Capstone Software) [Simulation].zip - The installer is the only place to change EGA, VGA or SVGA settings, so created a combo release that asks for the video type before launching. On 1st launch it'll go through the setup process to pick sound and memory options. Run setup.exe to configure sound and memory usage in the desired video folder if changes needed. Added choice.com and start.bat. Crack (all 3 versions are identical):

Different installer; not the software toolworks version. * Trump Castle 3 v1.10 [f1] (1993)(Capstone Software) [Simulation].zip - The installer only allows an installation of either VGA or SGA, so this is installed version is both video modes in one. Defaults to SVGA but can be changed using CONFIG.BAT which just swaps out one of the two CONFIG.?GA files to CONFIG.TC3 and then run the normal setup to allow sound and memory changes. * Trump Castle 3 patch (1993)(Capstone Software) [Simulation, Addon].zip - This updates only what is probably v1.0 to something that does not match v1.10, so we're not sure exactly this updates.

Game has different title page (missing TSR copyright) and Credit page. Unfortunately razor hacked the version # and release date so we don't truly know what this is or when it was obtained. * Unlimited Adventures v1.0 (Es) (1993)(Strategic Simulations, Inc.)

Not sure if this is DOS specific or if this is some kind of z-machine/frotz system in which this is not a true DOS game.  Research needed.

[Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - CD-ZIP of redump's bin-cue http://redump.org/disc/66545, available in TDC's CD images collection. The contents of this CD match a bin/cue dump with CRC32 0xbc89860e/0x7d992d7d. Also a dupe of http://redump.org/disc/68314 and a dupe of 68315. This CD has an INN folder (imagination network) which interestingly has a file READ.ME with a file date in 2018! * Beyond the Abyss v1.1 [SW][a1] (1994)(Nowhere Software) [Action].zip - updated readme. I think ct-voice.drv is the base is not the way this one was distributed. * Big Sea- The Better One Will Win (De) [f1] (1994)(Starbyte Software) [Simulation].zip - sourced from the Starbyte Collection- PC Joker - Heft & Spiel 3-98 compilation. Added SND.EXE configuration tool from other starbyte releases. * Biobombers r940918 (Es) (1994)(Epsilon Soft) [Action].zip - This game plays sound only with IRQ 5, or it crashes. The default cfg file has sound disabled. * Biobombers r941121 (Es) (1994)(Epsilon Soft) [Action].zip - Later release. Sound option still needs to be on IRQ 5. * Black Tiger v1.4 (1994)(Morning Sun Software Team) [Action].zip - Sourced from cafe.maver.com, and had a super annoying hacky loader to start the game by loading a renamed TIGER.EXE. It seems like this isn't necessary at all so it was removed and the original TIGER.EXE restored. Loader is still around in case it is needed. * Blackhawk (Installer) (De)(En)(Fr) (1994)(Interplay Productions Ltd.) [Action].zip - CD-ZIP of redump bin-cue http://redump.org/disc/33449/ Folder timestamps are 1998 and this edition is listed as "Dice" so it appears to be a re-release and may be subject to moving into 1998. The contents of this CD exactly match an ISO image with a CRC32 of 0x8fe67eb5 Sound configuration data is saved in DATA.DAT at offset 0x580->0x5AB, making many unique copies so only the installer is included in TDC. Installer calls out setup.exe to configure sound hardware. setup.exe is copy protected, so grab the crack from the cracks folder. You can even run the crack during install in a different DOSBox window when the installer asks to insert disk 2. - crack:

No audio tracks, but has demos on the CD. * Blue Force v1.11 (Installer) [a1] (1994)(Tsunami Media, Inc.) [Adventure].zip - This is taken off another ISO which adds a manual and some very minor changes to the demos. The game is identical. No audio tracks on this Cd either, and troublingly, the folders were created in 2003, so this might even be a home-brew CD? There is no other record of this game being released that year. * Blue Max- Aces of the Great War v1.1 (1994)(Three-Sixty Pacific, Inc.)

May require separating the data back into disk 1/disk 2. * Boppin' (Installer) [SW][a1] (1994)(Apogee Software, Ltd.)

[Strategy].zip - Different install screens, "shareware episode" vs "online shareware version" in the non [a1] Version 1.1 of Boppin' fixed some level bugs, but also made some of the gfx that might be considered too "disturbing" into an option, rather than what is shown by default. You must add the command-line parameter "BLOOD" after BOPPIN.EXE or you will see the "politically correct" gfx. * Brudal Baddle v1.1 [SWR] [h1][b1] (1994)(Sandbird Software) [Action].zip - Graffiti loader to start, has the registered characters in the game but missing character editor. best known dump. * Call of Cthulhu- Shadow of the Comet (Ko) (1994)(Infogrames, DS Game Channel) [Adventure].zip - key disk check upon attempting to save.

* Club Soccer- The Manager (De)(En) (1994)(Imagine Home Entertainments Limited) [Simulation].zip - Differences between this and club soccer: BANK.DAT - the options are in white instead of red CHAIRMAN.DAT - this has a resign option ENTERNAM.DAT - this has a background pic and lower case words GOALIE.DAT - this is limited to 11 moves instead of 17+ MAINSCR.DAT - the League icon changed OPTIONS.DAT - extra wording removed "SAVE GAME AT THE END OF THIS WEEK TO BANK NUMBER:" PVIEW.DAT - MANAGER -> CLICK FOR NEXT PLYR ; MAKE OFFER -> NEXT BIDS SLCTTEAM.DAT - lots of credits removed SOCCER.DAT - different team info SQADLITE.DAT - this has a CAPT option SQUAD2.DAT - selection box was made smaller STADIUM.DAT - PRICES -> %PROFIT ; CHANGE -> +/- STANDED.DAT - has a hardcoded Pound sign (L) * Cobra Doom-2 Episodes, The- Volume 1 (1994)(Cobra Computer Ltd.) [Action, Compilation, Addon].zip - appears to have a ton of files from way outside of 1994, but it's nigh impossible at this point to know what is true vintage. Even the wad file itself has a timestamp of 2002. * Cobra Episodes, The- Volume 1 (Installer) [f1] (1994)(Cobra Computer Ltd.) [Action, Compilation, Addon].zip - Installer programs on disk 2,3 look for the file "EPISODE.EXE" but the archives this came from had "COBRA2.EXE" and "COBRA3.EXE" instead. Disk 1's installer has the filename correct. It does not appear to be hacked. * Code- Europe v1.4 (Installer) (1994)(Compu-Teach) [Educational, Strategy].zip - sourced from 2x1.44mb IMA set. Installer is clearly taken from Destination Mars, as it tells you to type MARS at exit. Code Europe in 1993 is _probably_ v1.0 but the version number is only printed on the diskettes themselves. * Combat Classics 3 (Installer) (1994)(Empre Interactive Europe Ltd.) [Simulation, Compilation].zip - CD-ZIP of redump's bin-cue http://redump.org/disc/31129/ Includes Campaign, History Line- 1914-1918, Gunship 2000.. HistoryLine appears to be (En)(De)(Fr), the others are En only. * Comanche CD (1994)(NovaLogic, Inc.) [Action, Simulation, Compilation].zip - Unpatched version via the installer.

* Dark Sun- Wake of the Ravager 1.1 CD patch (Installer) (1994)(Mindscape, Inc., Strategic Simulations, Inc.) [Role-Playing (RPG), Addon].zip - because of the RGN03F.GFF and OBJEX.GFF files being corrupt/incorrect on this release, this patch will not upgrade completely. Use the files from the USA release before upgrading. * Dark Sun- Wake of the Ravager 1.1 CD patch (Installer) [a1] (1994)(Mindscape, Inc., Strategic Simulations, Inc.) [Role-Playing (RPG), Addon].zip - single app installer/patcher, likely the same as the base version just in different form. Also does not patch/upgrade completely. * Death Gate (Installer) (1994)(Legend Entertainment Company) [Adventure].zip - This is a CD-ZIP of the redump deathgate bin-cue, also available in TDC. * Dennis & Gnasher (1994)(Absolute Image) [Action].zip - Disable XMS and EMS. this game seems unfinished in a number of ways. The "soundboard" option does nothing, and there is no text for options (SB, PAS, GUS, etc.) so speaker seems to be all there is. Save/load game also appears to do nothing. If you choose the "hello" option on the menu, there is text that says "copyright message goes here".

The install.com from the 1993 release installer works just as well, so it was supplied here and INSTALL.CO_ was the one razor had either modified or loaded around. Razor also says "NOTE : 4 or 5 months ago, a french beta of Entity was available for download. Not only is this a final sales version, but it is also multilanguage, so it won't just not crash on you, you can read it as well .."

The game may still have audio tracks on the original CD which cannot be brought into this zip file. * HardBall II (1994)(Accolade, Inc.)

[IMA][720k] * Hardball 4 - Major League Players disk (1994)(Accolade, Inc.) [Sports, Addon].zip - If you want to install this, you will need to first install hardball 4. From the main install menu in HB4, select install players disk, point the install to wherever you unzipped this, and it'll take it from there. * Harpoon II v2.01 (Installer) (1994)(Three-Sixty Pacific, Inc.)

[Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - different build, no idea what the changes are again. * Hocus Pocus (Installer) [SW] (1994)(Apogee Software, Ltd.) [Action].zip - 1 Disk standard version * Hocus Pocus (Installer) [SW][a1] (1994)(Apogee Software, Ltd.)

[Action, Addon].zip - found in Apogee Exclusive Skylauncher Pack on CGBOARD. Upgrades SW to SWR. Seems like a hack? File dates are also > 1994. * Höhlenwelt Saga, Die- Der Leuchtende Kristall (Installer) (De) (1994)(Software 2000) [Adventure].zip - CD-ZIP of the bin-cue of the same name in the TDC CD images collection * Holiday Lemmings 1994 v1.92 [a1] (1994)(Psygnosis Limited) [Strategy, Action].zip - source unknown. Different sized files, might be a demo? Might have less levels than full release. If timestamps are to be believed, it came out a month earlier than the floppy release. * Horde, The (ReelMagic) (Installer) (1994)(Crystal Dynamics) [Action, Strategy].zip - Requires ReelMagic hardware and drivers. * Horde, The v1.1 (1994)(Crystal Dynamics, Inc.)

[Strategy].zip - Zip from the CD image which has audio tracks which cannot be zipped, so it's tagged as bad only because the audio tracks can't be expressed as DOS files. Use the corresponding bin-cue file in the CD images folder if you want the whole enchilada. * IndyCar Circuits Expansion Pack (Installer) [a1] (1994)(Virgin Interactive Entertainment (Europe) Ltd.) [Racing - Driving, Addon].zip - This is an earlier release from 05/10/94 and has some bugs that are fixed in the base version which is from 06/21/94 * Inferno [a1] (1994)(Ocean of America, Inc.)

[Action].zip - US version, CD-ZIP of the bin-cue available in TDC. * Infocom Sampler (1994)(Activision, Inc.) [Adventure, Interactive Fiction, Compilation].zip - This appears to be a home brewed version of Infocom Four-In-One Sampler which came out in 1984 (and is in TDC as a disk image). It uses Mark Howell's ZIP interpreter instead of the actual PC booter data. TDC is typically against using interpreters and non PC platform games to make "DOS" versions of games, but this is certainly an easier way to play the sampler disk until a true DC is created from it. * Inherit the Earth- Quest for the Orb (Installer) [h1] (1994)(New World Computing, Inc.) [Adventure].zip - install.exe has nexus group loader embedded in it. * Innocent Until Caught v1.03 (De)(En)(Es)(Fr)(It) [f1] (1994)(Psygnosis Limited) [Adventure].zip - CD-ZIP of bin-cue available in TDC. fixed sound support.

Sourced off 3.5" IMA file in TDC images collection. read.me updated, team roster changes. * International Sensible Soccer v1.2 CD (En)(De)(Fr)(It) (1994)(Renegade Software) [Simulation, Sports].zip - CD-ZIP of redump's bin cue http://redump.org/disc/52886/. manual doc check, SOC dated to 07/04/94, otherwise nearly identical to [a1] floppy version. * Interplay's 10 Year Anthology (Installer) (1994)(Interplay Productions, Inc.)

[Compilation].zip - CD-ZIP of redump's bin-cue http://redump.org/disc/49209/ European release, has audio tracks. Slightly different file set, most notibly in another world demo. * Ishar 3- The Seven Gates of Infinity CD (En)(De)(Fr)(Es) (1994)(Silmarils) [Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - Sourced from Games Gold CD collection Disk 8 (Ishar Trilogie), identical to Adventure Games Fun Collection Vol. 2. The CD versions are all ~40MB versus the floppy releases which are ~5. has a password.txt file from 1995, so this release is probably in the wrong year. * Ishar 3- The Seven Gates of Infinity (De) [h1] (1994)(Silmarils, Unalis Corp.) [Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - Hybrid tagged release from OldiesButGoldies. * Ishar 3- The Seven Gates of Infinity (Fr) (1994)(Silmarils) [Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - floppy version. found on abandonware-france * Ishar 3- The Seven Gates of Infinity (1994)(Silmarils) [Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - floppy version from TGOD#2540. disk do not appear to be original. * Ishar 3- The Seven Gates of Infinity (En)(De)(Fr)(Es) [a1] (1994)(Silmarils) [Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - source unknown. Has an install.bat from 1999, so release date here is likely wrong. Needs to be run in a slower dosbox environment or it'll crash immediately after initial setup. Different build and fileset. * J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Vol. I Enhanced CD-ROM v1.01 (Installer) (1994)(Interplay Productions, Inc., Sigma Designs, Inc.) [Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - CD-ZIP of the bin-cue of the same name. This is the reelMagic MPEG player release. * Jack in the Dark (Installer) (1994)(Interplay Entertainment Corp., I-Motion, Inc.) [Action, Adventure].zip - USA version, english only. This is supposed to be a zip of the contents off a floppy disk, but no source disk known. Has a super convoluted install process which only works from floppy and may not work in DOSBox at all. * Jeopardy! Sports Edition (Installer) [h1] (1994)(GameTek, Inc.) [Strategy].zip - installer has a loader/pirate group ad. * Jolly's Christmas Vacation v0.994 (Installer) (1994)(Softprime, Inc.) [Action].zip - technically bad. readme.sxt was added to this installer by the person who originally archived it, but it may not have been included on the disk originally in the first place, so it may have been bad out of the factory. * 叢林戰爭 (Zh) [h1] (1994)(Kingformation Co., Ltd.) [Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - small, text-only 'cracked by mr. cooldude' loader message. * Journey to the Promised Land v2.2 (Installer) (1993)(ARK Multimedia Publishing) [Educational, Trivia].zip - some files say v2.1 but this is most certainly v2.2 per the title screen * Jurassic ABC (Installer) (1994)(Pro One Software) [Educational, Compilation].zip - CD-ZIP of the ISO under the same name. This is a compilation of Flix Productions of ABC Fun at the Magic Zoo, Dinos Alive at the IQ Zoo, and Disaster Preparedness. Not sure how these are all "Jurassic" but that's the umbrella title this product was released under. There's media and box scans available too. * K K Poker v2.1 [SW] (1994)(Tsung-Kuang Yeh) [Strategy, Cards].zip - Says v2.1 on main title screen, but after playing and returning back to the title, it now says v2.0! * Kick Off 3 (Multi-9) (1994)(Anco Software Ltd.)

There are some file dates from 1994, so it mostly lines up. * Kingmaker v1.52 (1994)(The Avalon Hill Game Company) [Strategy].zip - speech seems to cause hangs. * Lamborghini- American Challenge (1994)(Titus France SA) [Racing - Driving].zip - uses razor single byte crack. has a save game for player 1 (LAC1.DAT) already at Division Challenge stage * Lamborghini- American Challenge [a1] (1994)(Titus France SA) [Racing - Driving].zip - different set of files, same game. this is the Paradox TSR patch.

[Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - Appears to be the USA release. README.ENG = README.FRE = README.GER. This is a CD-ZIP of the ISO image of the same name. * Lands of Lore- The Throne of Chaos vS1.20 (Installer) (Es) (1994)(Virgin Games, Inc.)

[Strategy].zip - CD-ZIP of the bin cue of the same name. Appears to be a later build, as file dates are all late 1993, so this seems like the BUZZ budget label CD-ROM release from 1994. only LSQDBBC.EXE is different from the floppy version, and it appears some filenames (save files) have changed as well as default paths. * Legend of Kyrandia, The- Book 3 - Malcolm's Revenge v1.02 (En)(Fr)(De) [b1] (1994)(Virgin Interactive Entertainment, Inc.)

Most of the game is in English. The secret code for Fase 2 is 15215 * Lollypop (Installer) (De) (1994)(Softgold Computerspiele GmbH) [Action].zip - Installer is in German, game is always in English. This is a CD-ZIP of redump's "Lollypop (Germany)" bin-cue, also available in TDC. * Lords of the Realm (Installer) (En)(De) (1994)(Impressions Games) [Strategy].zip - English/German release. The publisher name might be just "Impressions" since it's not the USA release. Unfortunately this one is tzipped so all original timestamps are destroyed. * M1 Tank Platoon v449.02 (1994)(Kixx XL) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - requires cputype=386_prefetch in dosbox. Zip of IMA/kfx file available in TDC. Doc check at "start campaign" removed via TANKST.TNK file modification.

[Educational].zip - patched to remove hard coded path off the root of the CD drive, now works from any folder off the C: drive. If using a different drive, you'll need to edit SCH_DAYS.CFG with a hex editor and change byte 0 to the drive desired (0=A:, 1=B:, etc) * Menzoberranzan v1.0f (1994)(Strategic Simulations, Inc.)

* Soccer Superstars (Installer) (En)(De)(Fr)(It)(Es)(Pt)(Nl)(Pl) [h2] (1994)(Digital Dreams Multimedia) [Sports].zip - unknown source, appears to be 3x1.44mb floppy, scene release from TDU Jam. Claims to be a german translated to english version, so perhaps an early beta. Odd since the game is mostly in English to begin with (like all internal error messages and the installer) so why would the translation to English be unfinished at the point this was released? .DAT files for installation are self extracting archives which were repacked by TDU jam to include their translation files, so no original versions exist. * Soccer Superstars (En)(De)(Fr)(It)(Es)(Pt)(Nl)(Pl) [tr En] (1994)(Digital Dreams Multimedia) [Sports].zip - installed version of [h2] which was apparently translated from german to english by scene group.

This one came from the 1994 CD but the 1995 ccd and installer are only in TDC because they are a superset of the 1994 release. a tad confusing, sorry. * Spear of Destiny Mission Disks - Mission 3- Ultimate Challenge (Installer) (1994)(FormGen, Inc.)

This installer does not work under dosbox. It tries to do a sneaky on-the-fly patch to a mission disk by calling into debug.exe: debug mission\b2m4gw.tie < fix.key > fix.out which if you don't have locally in your dosbox environment will hang the installer forever. the installer will also call a program named SONARCX.EXE that decompresses the speech samples, and which will bail out with Turbo Pascal run-time error 200 on fast machines. DOSBox Staging has an included DEBUG.COM just for TIE Fighter installer. * Star Wars- TIE Fighter v1.0 (Installer) (1994)(LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC) [Action, Simulation].zip - in DOSBox, unzip to C: and install from C:.

Hause, Mosquito Hawk Software) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - Sourced from archive.org, likely v1.1 but no official version # found. This is the 1994 Shareware release the 1993 version is talking about in the popup. There is no list of changes anywhere, but the executable has been modified, so there's probably some minor changes. From running some diffs, the most obvious change is in the ordering information; the registration cost has decreased, the address has changed, and 5-1/4" disks are no longer an option. * Street Fighter II - The World Warrior (스트리트 화이터 II) (Ko) (1994)(Jung Young Dug) [Action].zip - this is the XMEM version and JYD is the author of the engine/pot * SubWar 2050 Campaign Disk v3.01 (Installer) (1994)(MicroProse Software, Inc.)

This is clearly an earlier version than the demo that has an installer. * Thunder Zone [FW][a1] (1994)(Ingenuity Software) [Action].zip - may be an overdump; both com and exe files have extra bytes. different file_id.diz * Tiahuanaco (Es) [SWR] (1994)(Thunder Soft Entertainment) [Action].zip - It appears the game becomes registered by modifying the two space characters in TIAHU.CFG to "@" and "!" characters, and SETUP.EXE does not revert the modification. For example, my file contained "4EMN@OPQ1(!" after editing. The game does not indicate it is registered in any obvious way, but you should be able to play all 12 levels rather than only 5. * To The Exit (1994)(Ohyun High School) [Action, RPG].zip - do not launch battle.exe, only maze.exe * Tom Landry Strategy Football Deluxe Edition (1994)(Merit Software) [Sports, Strategy].zip - crack:

==19xx== * LAB v1.70 [FW] (19xx)(Lion) [Action].zip - Russian text mode rarity. No idea when it was created, timestamp is off, has 1991 text string from compiler, but that's all we know. * Mundial de Italia (Es) (19xx)(Anonymous) [Sports, Action].zip - must be run from the A: drive. Could likely be patched easily to remove that. * Snakes v1.2 (199x)(J. Brewer) [Action].zip - sadly the year is missing. The keys to use are A, E, R and Z. * Kentris v4.x [h1] (199x)(Ken Silverman) [Action, Strategy].zip - oddball release somewhere between 4.1 and 4.2. 3 files (INSTA,b,c.dat) are from Syndicate Wars and the version number doesn't line up with anything currently available. Likely a hack, but not a hex edited version of any known Kentris release. [[Category:Total DOS Collection (TDC)]]
