Also claims to be a "revised" version 1.5. It does indeed appear to be a different build. * B.A.T.

[Strategy, Chess].zip - compressed and passworded set of exe files. I believe this version of ANIMATE2 is corrupt, but it doesn't match other versions well enough, so we need another tiebreaker to find out. * Battle Chess II- Chinese Chess [a2] (1990)(Interplay Productions, Inc.) [Strategy, Chess].zip - different set of .exe files as well as ANIMATE2. * 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 * Black Gold [f1] (1990)(Rainbow Arts, Inc.)

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.

[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) [b1] (1990)(Aventuras AD) [Adventure, Interactive Fiction].zip - appears to be a crack difference, or perhaps one is not cracked at all? Missing CGA files, so tagged as bad even though the game plays. * 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 - 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.)

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.) [Action].zip - appears to be a later version, timestamps are 1990 * Dragon's Lair [a2] (1989)(Sullivan Bluth Interactive Media, Inc.)

(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. * Edward O. Thorp's REAL BLACKJACK v1.2 [h1] (1990)(Villa Crespo Software, Inc.)

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.)

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.)

It may be that EOB.Ex_ is corrupt, or perhaps modified with a different crack in the non [a1] version. * Eye of the Beholder v1.7 (1990)(Strategic Simulations, Inc.)

[Strategy] - different crack. one day will merge and uncrack. * Faces ...tris III (VGA, EGA, Tandy) (1990)(Spectrum Holobyte, Inc.)

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 v1003-281189 [b1][o1] (1990)(Activision, Inc.)

Overdump in that it has "MsDos" extra 32 bytes of data at the end of the main .exe file. this one should go to the junk drawer. * 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.

[Simulation].zip - very different set of files. non [a] version was taken straight off original floppies. This one I included the .nfo file which still didn't make any sense. It's a total wreck, but the game still worked in VGA. * Full Metal Planete [b1] (1990)(Draconian) [Strategy].zip - Missing all but VGA files. US release. * Full Metal Planete (1990)(Infogrames Europe SA) [Strategy].zip - different copy of the above found, which includes CGA and other files, but I am not sure if this copy is a direct replacement of the above known bad dump. * Future Classics Collection [a1] (1990)(LIVE Studios, Inc.)

Codes available in the docs folder. * Galleons of Glory- The Secret Voyage of Magellan [a1] (1990)(Broderbund Software, Inc.) [Adventure, Educational, Simulation].zip - different crack * Galleons of Glory- The Secret Voyage of Magellan [a2] (1990)(Broderbund Software, 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. *

Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Vol. I (1990)(Interplay Productions, Inc.) [Adventure, Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - occasionally gets hit by virus scanners because "install2.bat" deletes a file. This is an overzealous virus scan problem, not a fault with the game.zip - in DOSBox, use cpu 386_prefetch or it will hang. This zip is the CGA+EGA+VGA installed version so that the graphics can be switched without having to re-install. * JetFighter II- Advanced Tactical Fighter v1.0B [a2] (1990)(Velocity Inc.)

I get a "fatal error 4" in dosbox. this copy of this game does however work on real 486 hardware on dos 6.22, so it is not tagged as [b1] * Loom (1990)(Lucasfilm Games LLC) [Adventure].zip - crack:

Could likely be patched easily to remove that. * Murders in Space (Installer) (Fr)(En)(De)(It) [f1] (1990)(Infogrames Europe SA) [Adventure].zip - Fixed for use in DOSBox (works on real DOS too). May be bad? there are language selections for 7 countries on the title screen but only 4 work (5 if you include UK). Saving to the hard drive only works when the file "HD1" is renamed to "HD". * Murders in Space (VGA) (Installer) (Es) [f1] (1990)(Infogrames Europe SA) [Strategy].zip - modified inst.mis to work under dosbox * Mystical [a1] (1990)(Infogrames Europe SA) [Action].zip - Different data files. Tatou.com is "infected" with the "MsDos" stamp at the end of the file. * Narco Police [DC] (1990)(Dinamic Software) [Action, Strategy].img.zip - has not yet been converted to DOS. teledisk and raw .img files included. * Narco Police [a1] (1990)(Dinamic Software) [Action, Strategy].zip - slightly different .exe layout * Navy Moves [b1] (1990)(Dinamic Software) [Action] - Missing CGA files, only option D1 works, and the dinamic.bat file creates an endless loop. * Netherworld [b1] (1990)(United Software GmbH) [Action].zip - SCREENT.COM is corrupt. 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.) [Action].zip - fixed version by pulling a corrected screent.com from CD compilation "Hits for six - Volume 8". The CD also had Tandy and CGA versions of the game. * Night Shift v1.1 [a1] (1990)(Lucasfilm Games LLC) [Action].zip - different IML.EXE which is smaller.

[Action].zip - totally different set of files/CRCs. Appears to be EGA only. * No Exit [h1] (1990)(Tomahawk) [Action].zip - hacked to say "Inc Rulez" or some graffiti. should say "take a coffee" as shown on mobygames screenshots. * No Exit [a1] (1990)(Tomahawk) [Action].zip - unhacked .exe but has a startup bat file from italsoft, which may or may not be hacked. We need an original disk image to compare to. Has demo.exe and an installer too. * Operation Crusader v1.1 (Installer) (1994)(The Avalon Hill Game Company) [Strategy].zip - If installing in DOSBox, don't install from a simulated A: drive. It'll ask for a disk swap and then never accept it. * Operation Neptune [a1] (1990)(Learning Company, The) [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. * Overlord (1990)(Virgin Mastertronic Ltd.)

[Sports].zip - different crack. jeeze! * Pharaoh's Tomb vol.1 - Raiders of the Lost Tomb v2.3 [SW] (1990)(Apogee Software, Ltd.) [Action, Strategy].zip - Might be a hack. 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. * Pork I- The Great Underground Sewer System v-426.1 (1990)(Anonymous, David Malmberg) [Adventure, Interactive Fiction].zip - yes, this version is different than the one in 1991. * Ports of Call v1.2 (Es) [a1] (1990)(The Disc Company) [Simulation].zip - Different build of POCSPAN.EXE but still says v1.2 * Prince of Persia [h1] (1990)(Brøderbund Software, Inc.)

It's otherwise identical to the 3.5" version. * Prince of Persia v1.1 (De) [a1] (1990)(Brøderbund Software, Inc.)

[Adventure, Action].zip - This is the 5.25" version where install.exe asks for disk 2. It's otherwise identical to the 3.5" version. * Prince Of Persia v1.1 [h1] (1990)(Broderbund Software, Inc.) [Adventure, Action].zip - hack/cheated to add a level jump. * Qi Xiao Quan (Ranma) (Zh) [b1] (1990)(DOMO Production, Softstar Information) [Action].zip - missing file(s?) - after playing awhile it looks for PICA2A.DSK which doesn't exist... probably more files missing. Also needs to run from a root directory (drive is selectable at runtime), and to top it off it's uncracked (copy protection codes provided separately in Docs) * Quan Xing Yan (拳形岩) (Zh) (1990)(Tianxin Computer Co., Ltd.) [Strategy, Puzzle].zip - set machine=hercules in DOSBox. code sheet is included until a cracked version can be obtained. * Quasar (Tandy 1000) [f1] (1990)(Brooks deForest) [Action].zip - fixed basic source so it would run. * Quest for Glory I- So You Want To Be A Hero v1.200 [a1] (1990)(Sierra On-Line, Inc.)

It is part of the adlib driver set, not a part of this game. * Rick Dangerous 2 [h1] (1990)(MicroStyle) [Action].zip - credits hacked. May also be corrupt. Offset 0x6e94 has an ASCII alphabet table and the letters E and F have been clobbered. This version of MAIN.EXE at 54812 bytes appears to be unique among all other copies of this game. Sound.com added for convenience. * Rick Dangerous 2 [a1] (1990)(MicroStyle) [Action].zip - An updated version. main.exe is larger and .DRV files are newer. sound.com for adlib support was added for convenience. * Rise of the Dragon (VGA) [a1] (1990)(Sierra On-Line, Inc.) [Adventure].zip - completely different file sets, still VGA, still 1.0000 * Rock 'n Roll (Installer) [f1] (1990)(Rainbow Arts Software GmbH) [Action, Strategy] - Maybe corrupt readme, best known dump of this version. came via Italsoft. The (demo) version also complains of a corrupt .dat file when trying to run ROCKINFO.EXE, so this might not actually be a corrupt copy or maybe it's a DOSBox thing. The language selector doesn't seem to work either. * Rorke's Drift (En)(Fr)(De)(It)(Es) (1990)(Impressions) [Strategy].zip - requires running from \RORKE * Rorke's Drift (En)(Fr)(De)(It)(Es) [a1] (1990)(Impressions) [Strategy].zip - Doesn't require running from RORKE. Has compressed .exe files, and maybe a CGA build as well. * Satan [h2] (1990)(Dinamic Software) [Action, Adventure].zip - slightly hacked loader, but this version does appear to support both Satan 1 and 2, in both CGA and VGA modes. * Scramble [a1][SW] (1990)(Ted Gruber Software) [Strategy, Simulation].zip - both v1.0, but different .exe files. Added some "all rights reserved" text too. * Secret of Monkey Island, The v4.0.62 [a1] (1990)(Lucasfilm Games LLC) [Adventure].zip - different crack. Not sure if non A1 is even cracked. The v number for both is the interpreter version. * Secreto de Monkey Island, El (Es) [h1] (1990)(Lucasfilm Games LLC) [Adventure].zip - loader crack graffiti. * Secret of the Silver Blades v1.30 (1990)(Strategic Simulations, Inc.)

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.)

[Adventure, Interactive Fiction].zip - copy protection words have all been changed to "the" apparently. * World Golf 2 (Tandy 1000) [b1] (1990)(Brooks deForest) [Simulation, Sports].zip - Hangs. 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.)

Atom has the same issue with MS-Mouse and CuteMouse drivers, so I wonder what the game developer was using. There is a slightly complicated fix for the problem by modifying the executable: search for the byte pattern A1 B2 11 B9 02 00 D3 E8 and change 02 to 01, for which there are 16 instances. - ripsaw8080 * Barbie PC Fashion Design & Color (1991)(Mattel, 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 * Big Game Fishing [h1] (It)(En) (1991)(Simulmondo) [Simulation, Sports].zip - TSR patch with group notes before start. could be cleaned up * Bill Elliott's NASCAR Challenge (1991)(Konami, Inc.)

[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.

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.

There seems to be a copy protection doc check according the .exe, but it never popped up during play testing. * Kuwait Assault (1991)(OMK Software) [Action].zip - setup is in Spanish, but rest of game is in English?!? * Mad TV (Installer) (En)(De) (1991)(Rainbow Arts Software GmbH) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - taken off IMA files * Mad TV (En)(De) (1991)(Rainbow Arts Software GmbH) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - the result of the above installer * Mad TV (En)(De) [a1] (1991)(Rainbow Arts Software GmbH) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - slightly different mtv.exe * Mad TV (En)(De) [a2] (1991)(Rainbow Arts Software GmbH) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - different sized mtv.exe file, at least one text change in resource1.rsc from base copy. * 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.

Only the English version has been converted to French, yet not all the English messages are changed. * Magic Candle II- The Four and Forty, The (1991)(Mindcraft Software, Inc.)

This version has some different screens though, so it is significant * Might & Magic III- Isles of Terra (Fr) [a1] (1991)(New World Computing, Inc.)

A tad confusing since this [a1] did not come from the installer [a1]. * Monkey Island 2- LeChuck's Revenge (Installer) (It) (1991)(Lucasfilm Games LLC) [Adventure].zip - Pulled from the "CTO S.p.A."

More Lemmings (1991)(Psygnosis Limited) [Strategy].zip - Install.exe will pop up a virus warning "Backdoor.bat.ri.a@2647" in comodo. It is a false alarm. It has exe compression in it, and after uncompression, the virus scanner no longer pops up. * Omar Sharif on Bridge (Installer) [f1] (1991)(Interplay Productions, Inc.)

[Action].zip - Completely different .exe file, but likely due to unpacking from compression. * QBasic Gorillas (1991)(Microsoft Corporation) [Action].zip - yes, this is different than the 1990 version. Both appear to be from MS. * Race Drivin' [h1] (1991)(Domark Software, Inc.) [Racing - Driving, Simulation].zip - hacked to change the year to 1995. weird eh? Race Drivin' [a1] (1991)(Domark Software, Inc.)

[Strategy, Chess].zip - uses a TSR crack, so original .exe should be present. I believe the other one is byte cracked. This archive appears to be missing games and tutorials compared to the other versions. * Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe [a1] (1991)(LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC) [Action, Simulation, Strategy].zip - Different crack. Install.exe has changed too, not sure if that's part of a fix or crack, but it appears the original is still there as install2.exe * Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe- P-38 Lightning Tour of Duty (1991)(LucasArts) [Action, Simulation, Addon].zip - crack:

So one of these is a hack, we just don't know which one yet. * Sid Meier's Civilization v474.01 (1991)(MicroProse Software, Inc.) [Strategy].zip

No additional copies of simant will be accepted in TDC. * SimAnt- The Electronic Ant Colony v1.06E [a2] (1991)(Maxis Software Inc.) [Simulation].zip - despite what I said above, this [a2] is actually a tiny bit different. the read.me is from 1992 and contains different text. main .exe appears the same. * SimAnt- The Electronic Ant Colony v1.06E (Installer) (1991)(Maxis Software Inc.)

Non [a1] was taken off original disk. * 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. * 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. * Swap [a1] (1991)(Microids) [Strategy].zip - Includes CGA, EGA versions, but that doesn't mean the non [a1] is bad/missing- it is a different build. * System-4- Mister Tengus Adventure (1991)(Double Density) [Action].zip - press the left shift key to start the game after pressing F1 to start the game (duh.) * Taking of Beverly Hills, The [b1] (1991)(Capstone Software) [Action, Adventure].zip - missing everything except VGA. Best dump known. This is probably a post-installed version where the video selection is done elsewhere.

[Simulation, Strategy].zip - disk 1 is the root folder, mount A:, switch to A:, run install and when asked for the next disk, pop into another window and just copy+overwrite the files in the root. * A-Train v1.01 (Installer) (1992)(Maxis Software Inc.) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - Installer has multiple disks with same filenames, so they have been merged under DISK2 and DISK3 folders. Simply copy the contents of each into the root of A: during installation and click next when prompted. * A-Train v1.02 (Installer) (1992)(Maxis Software Inc.)

MUFC2.EXE starts the same game, but is called Manchester United Europe in the title but shows no graphical title screen, but allows you to play the game in a variety of languages.

I think this was protection based, and is removed in the other version, so this one may just be uncracked but DOSBox won't let it do low level disk IO. The files in this zip do byte match ones taken off an original disk, so it's not technically a bad dump. [b1] should probably be removed. * Cool World [a1] (1992)(Ocean Software Ltd.)

[Adventure, Role-Playing (RPG), Addon].zip - To use the patch you must have the original DARKLAND.EXE in the Darklands directory, not a cracked version. Therefore, I have included the original .exe that came with the program. To update your copy do the following: 1) Unzip the update into the darklands directory, overwriting the darkland.exe 2) Type "update" to begin the patching process, which takes from 5 to 20 minutes. 3) After the patch is completed, type "dlcrk2.exe" to crack the new .051 version of Darklands. 4) Now your updated version of Darklands is permanently cracked.

Unfortunately zipped from a machine that did not preserve time stamps. * Das Schwarze Auge- Die Schicksalsklinge (De)(En) [b1] (1992)(Fantasy Productions) [Adventure, Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - Game is mostly in english, but intro is german. It's the German language version's intro data and game executable files with the English language version's game data files, creating a happy mess on-screen, as some text windows have the wrong width. This was likely to be an unofficial release. Better, proper versions of both English and German versions exist in TDC, go get one of those. * Das Schwarze Auge- Die Schicksalsklinge (De) (1992)(Fantasy Productions) [Adventure, Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - game is v1.00, gen.exe is v1.01 * Death Squadron v2.0 [h1] (1992)(Gatecom Inc.)

[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. * 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.

Possibly taken off CD. * 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 [h1] (1992)(Empire Software) [Sports].zip - graffiti in some .exe files. * Jetfighter- The Adventure v1.6B (1992)(Velocity Inc.) [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.

This version has a Spanish version of XCOPY instead. * Joe & Mac- Caveman Ninja v091192 [h1] (1992)(New World Computing, Inc.)

I am assuming this is a DOSBox config issue. * Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes- The Case of the Serrated Scalpel, The [a1] (1992)(Electronic Arts, Inc.)

Comparing files Lure.exe and LURE.EX_ 0000408C: C3 8B* 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. * Magic Candle III, The v1.1 (Installer) [f1] (1992)(Mindcraft Software, Inc.) [Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - custom install.bat and setup to work inside DOSBox * Magic Candle III, The v1.16 [a1] (1993)(Mindcraft Software, Inc.) [Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - slightly different text in the update.txt file. yep, that's TDC at its finest. * 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. * Mega lo Mania [a1] (1992)(Ubi Soft Entertainment Software) [Action, Strategy].zip - says this in the exe "Demo Version 06/03/1992" but didn't play test long enough to see if it was truly a demo/shortened version. 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. * Microleague Baseball IV (Installer) (1992)(MicroLeague Multimedia, Inc.)

F6's are very suspect. * Microprose Formula One Grand Prix v1.03 [a1] (En)(De)(Fr) (1992)(MicroProse Ltd.) [Racing - Driving, Sports].zip - different crack, could just go away. * Multi-Dimensional Thief, The [a1] (1991)(Joel Finch) [Adventure, Interactive Fiction].zip - not sure what's different. may have been released in 1992 based on timestamps * Multi-Dimensional Thief, The [a2] (1991)(Joel Finch) [Adventure, Interactive Fiction].zip - same as above, may be even later 92 release. * NFL (1992)(Konami (America), Inc.)

[Racing - Driving].zip - Slightly larger main .exe. Not sure where this was sourced from. The base copy is a zip of the IMA files in TDC. * Nightmares from the Crypt v3.0 [SW][a1] (1992)(John Olsen) [Adventure, Compilation].zip - different readme (same game files) from a different distribution. * No Greater Glory- The American Civil War v1.1 (1992)(Strategic Simulations, Inc.)

Comparing files START.EXE and START.EX_ 0000031B: EB 74* 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. * 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" * Premier Manager 2 (1993)(Gremlin Graphics Software Ltd.) [Simulation, Sports, Strategy].zip - Missing CT-VOICE.DRV, so game will fail when selecting soundblaster. This file comes from the user as part of the SB installer, so this may in fact be the way the publisher released the game. * Prince of Persia v1.3 [a1] (1992)(Brøderbund Software, Inc.)

No ver# found. * Siege & Siege Dogs of War Bundle v2.0 [f1] (1992)(Mindcraft Software, Inc.) [Strategy, Compilation].zip - this is the dogs of war add-on applied to version 1.2 of Siege, then the soundblaster sb3.drv added in for good measure. The dogs modules can be applied to any Siege version and is stand-alone enough that it is version 2.0 * Siege [f1] (1992)(Mindcraft Software, Inc.) [Strategy].zip- v1.0. Fixed by adding sb3.drv for soundblaster support. Otherwise this is straight up installed from the 1.0 installer. * Siege [o1] (Installer) (1992)(Mindcraft Software, Inc.) [Strategy].zip - v1.0. Install.exe is overdumped compared to v1.2. Since we don't have original disks for v1.0 yet, we don't know if it shipped like this or came from scene distribution. If that's original, then [o1] goes away. * Siege v1.2 (Installer) (1992)(Mindcraft Software, Inc.) [Strategy][!].zip - Taken from tgod 001850 image set, matches an independent dump from elsewhere. The IMA files don't match (OEMid) so they are definitely different disk sets. * Siege v1.2 [f1] (1992)(Mindcraft Software, Inc.)

It does at least upgrade the soundblaster driver to support SBPro, as the [f1] has above. * Siege (危城爭霸) v1.2 (En)(Zh) [f1] (1992)(Mindcraft Software, Inc., King Formation Co., Ltd.)

Different build/.exe size. Price change for registering. Has file checked 100% from multiple sources, including a few self extracting .exe's so confidence of this one being a good dump is high. * Snake Battle v2.0 (En)(Ru) (1992)(Gamos Ltd.)

I don't think it's related to copy protection, since I used the manual include in TDC? taken off 3.5" non-original floppies. * Spelljammer- Pirates of Realmspace (Installer) [f1] (1992)(Strategic Simulations, Inc.)

[Strategy].zip - slightly different intro and exit screens. both are v1.0 * 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.

This one is missing the codemasters logo/startup so may be an earlier release? * Bully's Sporting Darts [a1] (1993)(Alternative Software Ltd.) [Sports].zip - slightly different file set in that there is no 1k loader (that may be copy protection based) that then loads the main .exe. Otherwise it's basically the same thing. * Burning Steel- Entscheidung im Nordatlantik v1.00D (De) (1992)(Strategic Simulations, Inc.) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - Single byte difference between the cracked and uncracked, yet the uncracked version reports as v1.00D on the title screen and has sound. The cracked version reports on v1.00 and lacks sound. Should probably be marked as [b1]. * Caesar v1.04 (1993)(Impressions) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - often (incorrectly?) referred to as "caesar deluxe" although there is nothing deluxe about it WRT features or sound+graphic updates. Appears to be just an update/bug fix from v1.0 * Comanche- Maximum Overkill CD (1993)(NovaLogic, Inc.) [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. * Conspiracy [h1] (1993)(Virgin Interactive Entertainment, Inc.)

Compared to the non [a1] one looks at LICENSE.DOC and the other looks at FILE_ID.DIZ to determine if it is SW or SWR. * Exorcise in the Chaotic World v1.10 (Zh) [h1] (1993)(Kingformation Co. LTD) [Adventure, Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - use cracktro-loader crack.exe to start the game. * Fatal Encounter [a1] (1993)(Computer & Entertainment Inc.) [Action].zip - Also known as "street counter", a south korean release. * Fields of Glory (Installer) (En)(Fr)(De) (1993)(Spectrum Holobyte, Inc.) [Strategy].zip - Must be installed to the default folder or it won't install anything at all. * Fields of Glory (En)(Fr)(De) (1993)(MicroProse Ltd.) [Strategy].zip - The language selection between english, frech and german is a bit hidden (in install.exe we must choose "reconfigure hardware options", and after the configuration of the sound card parameters, will appear the language selection menu. * Flashback- The Quest for Identity [b1] (1993)(Strategic Simulations, Inc.) [Action, Adventure].zip - probably a bad crack. Ingame device "teleport" does not work. You may check at "neptun" level (run the game and enter password "neptun"), then throw "tele receiver" and try to teleport to it with "tele control" - you'll can't, so the game can't be finished. * Flashback- The Quest for Identity v1.1 (It) (1993)(U.S. Gold Ltd.) [Action, Adventure].zip - currently uncracked. there are docs available, so it's still playable. * Fun School v1.7 [a1] (1993)(EuroPress Software) [Educational].zip - taken off 720k disk, compared to 2x360 disks, so installer is slightly different * Fury of the Furries (Installer) (En)(De)(Fr)(It)(Es) (1993)(Kalisto) [Action].zip - ID2.TXT's correct name is ID.TXT which conflicts with disk1's ID.TXT. During install, the installer will ask for disk 2 and not continue until you rename ID2.TXT as ID.TXT and refresh (assuming you're using DOSBox). After installing, replace LANG.EXE with the one from this archive. * Goblins 3 [h1] (1993)(Coktel Vision) [Adventure].zip - setup.exe has group loader. crack:Comparing files EXT.STK and EXT.ST_ 0030EE02: 00 01* Goblins 3 (Fr) [h1][a1] (1993)(Coktel Vision) [Adventure].zip - Same as above, but different .stk file. Not sure if the .com loader is needed. * GoGo!! Uribyeol (고고 우리별) (Kr) (1993)(LG Electronics Inc.) [Action].zip - Taken from the ISO under the same name with a loader (OURSTAR.COM) which takes care of the copy protection. * GoGo!! Uribyeol (고고 우리별) (Kr) [a1] (1993)(LG Electronics Inc.) [Action].zip - This is supposedly the floppy version, although no IMA files are currently available. OURSTAR.COM is a loader to bypass the protection that comes up after level 1. * Gordi - Thinking Games II (He) [h1][b1] (1993)(Compedia Software & Hardware Ltd.) [Educational].zip - crack graffiti, but more importantly this one appears incomplete if you compare it to the English version. There's a whole intro and many files missing. * Grandmaster Chess v1.1 [a2][b1] (1993)(Capstone Software) [Strategy, Chess].zip - Only runs from C:\GMCHESS and even then runs very poorly. This version still reports as v1.1 but has different options for board/piece options. May be missing files like GMCFG.EXE and the capstone logo/title program. Best dump known of this version. * Great Naval Battles- North Atlantic 1939-1943 - America in the Atlantic v1.2 (Installer) [a1] (1993)(Strategic Simulations, Inc.) [Simulation, Strategy, Addon].zip - Includes cracked file in the .arj. The non [a1] has uncracked version.

[Action].zip - patched by anormal to work around the turbo pascal "divide by zero" bug. * Halloween Harry v1.1 (Installer) [SWR][a1] (1993)(Apogee Software, Ltd.) [Action].zip - 1.2mb diskette version * Halloween Harry v1.2 (Installer) [SW][a1] (1993)(Apogee Software, Ltd.) [Action].zip - 1.2mb diskette version * Halloween Harry v1.2 (Installer) [SW][a2] (1993)(Apogee Software, Ltd.) [Action].zip - 360k diskette version * Halloween Harry v1.2 (Installer) [SW][a3] (1993)(Apogee Software, Ltd.) [Action].zip - 720k diskette version * Halloween Harry v1.2 (Installer) [SW][a4] (1993)(Apogee Software, Ltd.) [Action].zip - "online edition" * Hannibal (Installer) (De) [a1] (1993)(Starbyte Software) [Strategy].zip - floppy version, base installer comes from Bestseller Games CD 01. This version comes from tgod floppy set 0007. * Hannibal (De) [a1] (1993)(Starbyte Software) [Strategy].zip - installed floppy version * Hannibal (De) [a2] (1993)(Starbyte Software) [Strategy].zip - different .exe file, unknown origin. * Hannibal (De) [a3] (1993)(Starbyte Software) [Strategy].zip - another .exe file, smaller this time. unknown origin. * HardBall III - Big League Ballpark Disk (Installer) (1993)(Accolade, Inc.) [Sports, Addon].zip - installer will uncrack your hardball.exe. Here's the re-crack:Comparing files HARDBALL.EXE and HARDBALL.EX_ 000D8EB0: 81 8B 000D8EB1: F3 46 000D8EB2: 17 04 000D8EB3: BD A3 000D8EB4: 89 E6 000D8EB5: 5E 71 000D8EB6: 04 35 000D8EB7: 89 17 000D8EB8: 1E BD 000D8EB9: 86 3B 000D8EBA: 70 C3 000D8EBB: 90 75 000D8EBC: 90 09* Harrier Jump Jet v2.40 (Installer) (1993)(MicroProse Software, Inc.) [Action, Simulation].zip - cracked FRONTEND.EXE included. Overwrite the installed one with this. * Hired Guns v0.99.01 (Installer) [a1] (1993)(Psygnosis Limited) [Action, Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - Smaller game (2 disks instead of 4) but the game still shows the same version #. Oddly the larger installer doesn't seem to work in dosbox. * Hits for Six- Volume 1 (1993)(Prism Leisure Corporation Plc) [Compilation].zip - CD-ZIP of the ISO in the images collection * Home Alone- The Computerized Coloring Book (1992)(Capstone Software) [Educational].zip - After every use, the game updates the pictures file and the config file. 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. * 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 - main exe already decompressed, so likely already cracked. This is a slightly different build than the multi-language version. * 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/ which is now found in TDC's CD images collection. Full Talkie version. * Inindo- Way of the Ninja (Zh) [a1] (1993)(KOEI Co., Ltd.)

[Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - May be a homebrew job since the .exe is identical to the french one which comes up as vF1.23 as compared to the other Spanish one of vS1.20. Filenames are also a mix of upper and lowercase, so this may not be a legit release. It does work, and it is in Spanish. * Last Eichhof, The v1.1 [a1] (1993)(Alpha Helix Productions) [Action].zip - several main .dat file differs over a few k on exact boundaries that point to one of them being corrupt. At this point we don't know which one is bad until I get a tiebreaker from a unique source. * Legend of Kyrandia, The v1.3 (Installer) [a1] (1992)(Virgin Games, Inc.)

LWBD.EXE calls LWBD.BLK. If renamed to .exe LWBD.BLK appears to run fine. * 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 in Time parts 1 and 2 (Installer) (En)(Fr)(De)(It)(Es) (1993)(C.T.O.

[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.

I get an error running it, so maybe that's why this version was replaced. * Microsoft Flight Simulator 5.0 (Installer) [a2] (1993)(Microsoft Corporation) [Simulation].zip - same as above. Looks like DISK2B.EXE is different but the error on running it persists. (may be speed of dosbox related) * Might and Magic- Darkside of Xeen (Installer) [b1] (1993)(New World Computing, Inc.)

[Action].zip - release candidate see https://cloakedthargoid.wordpress.com/mk1-dos-versions/ * Mortal Kombat v2 (1993)(Hi-Tech Expressions, Inc.) [Action].zip - different .exe file, uses RAYDEN. published by Hi-tech Expressions. Says 1994 on title screen but it's from December 1993 * Mortal Kombat [a1] (1993)(Hi-Tech Expressions, Inc.) [Action].zip - cleaner crack. Uncracked file is in the non [a1] so this could be merged. * Network Q RAC Rally [a1] (1993)(Europress Software Ltd.) [Racing - Driving, Sports].zip - looks like a newer version. Sound settings include PAS16 * Network Q RAC Rally (Installer) [f1] (1993)(Europress Software Ltd.) [Racing - Driving, Sports].zip - fixed by including a complete copy of RALLY.RNC instead of requiring disk swaps. Disk 1's contents are still included for tracking purposes. Seek the crack or take a post-cracked copy from the installed version (menu.exe) to bypass protection. Codes and docs are also included in TDC if preferred. * NFL Pro League Football v1993.2 (1993)(Micro Sports Inc.) [Sports, Simulation].zip - taken from tgod disk set 002960_nfl_pro_league_football. crack (un-pklite first):Comparing files GM.EX_ and GM.EXE 0000D752: 75 90 0000D753: 03 90* Nick Faldo's Championship Golf [h1] (1993)(Grandslam Video Ltd.)

[Racing - Driving].zip - Taken from IMA files. crack:Comparing files MANSELL.EX_ and MANSELL.EXE 0000F9F4: 55 CB* Osada Byelogo Doma (Осада Белого Дома) (Ru) (1993)(NIKITA Ltd.) [Action].zip - currently uncracked, but passwords are available in the documentation folder. There is also a release in 1996 which does not have copy protection. * Oxyd Magnum! (En)(Fr)(De) [h1] (1993)(Dongleware Verlags GmbH) [Strategy].zip - Compared to the non [h1] there is some minor text difference in the level code input dialog. I do not know which one is the original! * Pac-Man v1.08 (De) [h1] (1993)(Christopher Salomon) [Action].zip - cracked (registered) graffiti on credits screen. * PC Fútbol v3.0 (Installer) (Es) [h1] (1993)(Dinamic Multimedia, S.A.) [Sports, Strategy].zip - Installer looks unhacked but the installed game totally has a cracked by mr coolduude at the protection screen, which means the installer itself has been modified. * Peter Pan- A Story Painting Adventure (Installer) (1993)(Electronic Arts, Inc.) [Adventure, Educational].zip - uses duplicate filenames across disks. use the pre-installed one before killing yourself with this. * Pirates! Gold v3 (Installer) (Fr)(En)(De) (1993)(MicroProse Software, Inc.) [Action, Simulation, Strategy].zip - CD-ZIP directly from the ccd image supplied in the CD images folder. Different than the floppy based installer. * Pirates! Gold (Installer) [a1] (1993)(MicroProse Software, Inc.) [Action, Simulation, Strategy].zip - Slightly different content- with a readme.now and a different phone number in the readme.txt * Pirates! Gold v3 (Fr)(En)(De) [a1] (1993)(MicroProse Software, Inc.) [Action, Simulation, Strategy].zip - updated using the v3 upgrade patch, which basically gives you the same thing as the CD installer, but with an updated merchant.pcx file which is mostly identical to the original except for an internal title. * Playroom, The v2.0 [f1] (1993)(Broderbund 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.) [Educational, Compilation].zip - Combined Backyard, Playroom, and Treehouse pieces into a fixed and ready to run Playworld experience. 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. * Protec2 (En)(De) [SW][a1] (1993)(Wilfried Lottermoser) [Action].zip - updated doc file. yep, that's all. * Protostar- War on the Frontier v1.10c [f1] (1993)(Tsunami Media, Inc.) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - Patched version from hotu. "ProtoStar patched and "tweaked" to patch #1". We're not sure where the patch came from? * 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.) [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 (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. * Robotlandia 93 (??????????? 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 [a1] (1993)(Villa Crespo Software, Inc.) [Strategy, Cards].zip - modified (hacked?) player message text files. Appears to also have a recompiled .exe. *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. * 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, copy crack.exe into installed directory and run it. At protection screen, click on PUSH ME and wait. It should boot you into the game! - crack:Comparing files SAMNMAX.SM1 and SAMNMAX.SM_ 00B9FDB8: 4C 78* Sam & Max Hit the Road v1.3 (De) (1993)(LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC) [Adventure].zip - crack is the same as above, but at offset 00BA61E8 * Sam & Max Hit the Road v1.3 (Installer) (De) (1993)(Softgold Computerspiele GmbH) [Adventure].zip - It appears you can install this from the C: drive (in the root) to the C: drive under dosbox. * Sam & Max Hit the Road v1.2 (Installer) (Es) (1994)(LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC) [Adventure].zip - Can be installed from C:\ (must be in root). Attempting to install from a mounted A: drive results in it not being able to detect disk 2. After installing, run S&MDESP.COM to crack it. * Sango Fighter v1.1 [SW][a1] (1993)(Accend Inc.) [Action].zip - Hex edited exit screen with different address, updated readme.doc. May be a hack, but I doubt it. Sango Fighter (武将争霸：三国志) (Zh) [h1] (1993)(Panda Entertainment Technology Co., Ltd.) [Action].zip - ugly loader screen, nothing in English in this version. * 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?) * 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. File contents are identical to an ISO image with crc32 of 0x4fc0037d * Siege & Siege Dogs of War Bundle v2.0 (En)(Zh) [f1] (1993)(Mindcraft Software, Inc., Kingformation Co., Ltd.) [Strategy, Compilation].zip - Fixed by adding sb3.drv, but otherwise not sure where this was sourced from as it is not the same build as applying the dogs of war update to the (En)(Zh) version. Versions are all over the map with this. * Silk (Installer) (Jp) (1993)(Subsino Co.) [Action, Adult].zip - copy silk.exe over the installed one. Crack:Comparing files SILK.EXE and SILK.EX_ 00005AF6: 75 EB* Silverball (Installer) (1993)(MicroLeague Multimedia, Inc.) [Action].zip - Installer is buggy and won't show the drive letter in the install path. 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. Spa) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - CD-ZIP of the ISO of the same name. * SimCity Classic v2.0 (Installer) [a1] (1993)(Mindscape, Inc.) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - readme.txt says August 1993, the non [a1] is from december (other changes too) Both say 2.0. * SimCity Classic v2.0 [a1] (1993)(Mindscape, Inc.) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - see above * Simon the Sorcerer v3.0 (1993)(Infocom, Inc.) [Adventure].zip - crack:Comparing files TABLES05 and TABLES05._ 00002020: 3F 32 0000202E: 3F 32* Simon the Sorcerer v3.0 (Installer) [f1][a1] (1993)(Infocom, Inc.) [Adventure].zip - taken off original floppies, modified install.dat to not require 3 disks during installation from hard drive. This appears to be a different version of the game, but still says 3.0 when you dig around in the .exe. Luckily the TDT TSR crack works on this version too. * Software Toolworks Game Pack III, The v3.0.1 (Installer) (1993)(Software Toolworks, Inc., The) [Compilation].zip - Added a folder called CRACK with cracked exes to be dropped over the installed ones. This is otherwise a direct copy of the 5 disks. * Software Toolworks Game Pack III, The v3.0.1 (1993)(Software Toolworks, Inc., The) [Compilation].zip - Installed copy of the above, with an additional menu to start it. * Space Elimination (1993)(Electronic Arts).zip - not a game, or at least it's a fake. Contains parts of eagle eye mysteries and parts of doom with a potentially virused/trojan install.exe. Removed from master list database but noted here for future reference. * Space Hulk [a1] (1993)(Electronic Arts, Inc.) [Action, Strategy].zip - same version, but has additional sound drivers and a setup.exe * Space Quest IV- Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers (Es)(En) [a1] (1993)(Kixx XL) [Adventure].zip - appears to be 1.44mb version vs 1.2mb * Spit Wad Willy v1.1 [SWR][h1] (1993)(Raoul Said) [Action].zip - game start has downloaded from awesome cool site intro * Star Wars- X-Wing (Installer) [f1] (1993)(LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC) [Action, Simulation].zip - Fixed installer for DOSBox with labelfix patch to pass disk labels. Install from C:. It'll keep asking for DISK1, but will eventually finish. The copy protection is in FRONTEND.OVL, and a cracked copy of it is in the installed version of XWING in TDC. Crack:Comparing files FRONTEND.OV_ and FRONTEND.OVL 00079840: E8 B8 00079841: 6D 01 00079842: 29 00* Starlord v1.01 (1993)(MicroProse Software, Inc.) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - seems like internal beta-version. Including bug-report in XML inside. :) * Stop Nick Macki (Beta) (1993)(Pie in the Sky) [Action].zip - some versions, won't run if the system date is after July 15, 1993 * Strip Poker Professional [a1] (1993)(Artworx Software Co, Inc.) [Strategy, Cards, Adult].zip - different exe size * Strip Poker Professional [a2] (1993)(Artworx Software Co, Inc.) [Strategy, Cards, Adult].zip - different exe size, larger than the others. * Suburban Commando (1993)(New Line Productions) [Action].zip - Clearly says 1991 on the title screen, but mobygames box and media scans show 1993. * Super Domination v4.1 [SWR] (1993)(Tom Wilson) [Strategy].zip - Registered via patching. Accepts any 7 digit code. * Super Fighter [a1] (1993)(Computer & Entertainment Inc.) [Action].zip - This is a beta/pre release of super fighter/fatal encounter, known as "The King of Super Fighters". Has no opening title sequence. * Super Henrik på Gylden Borg (Da) [b1] (1993)(Rapsoft) [Adventure, Educational].zip - taken from archive.org, disk has bad sectors which show up as corrupt data in one of the menus. Best known dump. Playable * Syndicate (En)(It)(Fr) (1993)(Electronic Arts, Inc.) [Action, Strategy].zip - use "main /cx" where x=0, 1, 2 to select languages * Syndicate (En)(It)(Fr) [b1] (1993)(Electronic Arts, Inc.) [Action, Strategy].zip - missing into sequence. Uses a different .exe to start, so maybe it is an earlier version that doesn't have it? Otherwise seems to play fine. T2- The Arcade Game (1993)(Virgin Games, Inc.) [Action].zip - SETUP.EXE is a renamed copy of INSTALL.EXE, which does not get copied over during the installation process. It needs to be available in the game folder so sound card options can be updated. crack:Comparing files ARNIE.BI_ and ARNIE.BIN 00000200: 2E EB 00000201: C7 47* Terminator, The- Rampage v1.01 (Installer) (1993)(Bethesda Softworks LLC) [Action].zip - CD-ZIP of redump's Terminator, The - Rampage (USA) bin-cue, which is also available in TDC. * 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 - 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. * 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]. * Treasures & Terror- The Dragon's Eggs [SW][b1] (1993)(J&E Software) [Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - Missing files, unplayable. Best known dump. * Troddlers [h1] (1993)(The Sales Curve Ltd.) [Action, Strategy].zip - TDT intro screen and graffiti on title screen. * Troddlers [h2] (1993)(The Sales Curve Ltd.) [Action, Strategy].zip - a cleaner version of the above TDT version, but still with graffiti on title screen. - [a1],[h1] and [h2] all appear to be alpha releases. * V for Victory- Gold-Juno-Sword v4.0 (Installer) (1993)(Three-Sixty Pacific, Inc.) [Strategy][!].zip - verified against original disk 26-jan-2014 * V for Victory- Market-Garden (Installer) [a1] (1993)(Three-Sixty Pacific, Inc.) [Strategy].zip - slightly modified install.dat file which references disk 2 and end text is slight different. * VL - Das Spiel (De) [a1] (1993)(LBS, Promotion Software) [Adventure].zip - Appears to be newer. Evident by some graphics changes and a deadline addition to the contest date. * Veil of Darkness [a1] (1993)(Strategic Simulations, Inc.)

[Role-Playing (RPG), Compilation].zip - CD-ZIP of the ISO under the same name. This is the 9 game collection. * Advanced Dungeons & Dragons- Collector's Edition r2 (Installer) (1994)(WizardWorks Group, Inc.) [Role-Playing (RPG), Compilation].zip - CD-ZIP of the ISO under the same name. this was a re-release with additional content * Airlines v1.11 [h1] (1994)(Interactivision A-S) [Simulation].zip - appears there may be a German version available in the game, since a language file exists for it, but I found no way to select language via configuration or in-game. Has a "cracked by mr cool dude" after exiting the game. * Al-Qadim- The Genie's Curse (1994)(Strategic Simulations, Inc.) [Action, Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - crackComparing files GENIER.EXE and GENIER.EX_ 00063149: 90 74 0006314A: 90 0C* Alien Breed- Tower Assault (1994)(Psygnosis Limited) [Action].zip - crackComparing files TA.EXE and TA.EX_ 0001A54D: E9 E8 0001A54E: 07 43 0001A54F: 01 02* Alien Breed- Tower Assault CD (1994)(Psygnosis Limited) [Action].zip - crack:Comparing files ta.exe and TA.EX_ 00012B89: 90 E8 00012B8A: 90 68 00012B8B: 90 79 00012B8C: 90 00 00012B8D: 90 00 00012B8E: 90 0F 00012B8F: 90 85 00012B90: 90 F0 00012B91: 90 00 00012B92: 90 00 00012B93: 90 00 0001A58D: E8 E9 0001A58E: 43 07 0001A58F: 02 01* Alien Logic (Installer) [b1] (1994)(Strategic Simulations, Inc.) [Action, Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - CD distribution with audio tracks. This if a files-only zip. Use the .img.zip version to mount the game as a CD. * Alien Olympics (Installer) [f1] (1994)(Mindscape, Inc.) [Action, Sports].zip - patched to allow game to install in dosbox, ignoring disk labels. Run from the A:. patch (after unpklite):Comparing files INSTALL.EXE and INSTALL.EX_ 00009576: C4 B6* Alphabet Soup [SW][a1] (1994)(Leapfrog Software, Inc.) [Educational].zip - different .exe, but runs identically. * Archon Ultra (Installer) [h1] (1994)(Strategic Simulations, Inc.) [Action, Strategy].zip - Appears to be a hacked/faked version "1.6" Only the readme file is different. Further evidence that these are fake is that the true v1.1 is significantly different. * Archon Ultra (Installer) [h2] (1994)(Strategic Simulations, Inc.) [Action, Strategy].zip - another weird hacked version 1.7. The version byte is the only modification. those wacky pirates! * Arcy 2 [SW][a1] (1994)(MVP Software) [Strategy].zip - very different .exe, no version number located. * Armour-Geddon v131093 (1994)(Psygnosis Limited, PC World) [Action, Simulation, Strategy].zip - is 3 Disk Special Edition from PCW 04/1994 * Astro Fire v1.1r [SWR][h1] (1994)(ORT Software) [Action].zip - Graffiti intro. install.exe and helpme.exe taken from earlier TDC copy that had bad timestamps, this version is at least period correct even tho those 2 files were missing. Best dump known. * Authentic Taiwan Sixteen Mahjong (Installer) (Zh) (1994)(Softstar Entertainment Inc.) [Strategy].zip - copy MJV.EXE to installed folder. Press TAB at the installation screen to get english text. This is unlikely the exact title. * Beauty Terminator (Zh) [a1] (1994)(Tan Ton Nerw Information Co., Ltd.) [Strategy, Adult].zip - Cracked, possibly differently than the non [a1] or the non [a1] is uncracked. * Baoxiao Sanguo-zhi (Comedy Three Kingdoms) (Zh) [h1] (1994)(Dynasty) [Strategy].zip - small, text-only 'cracked by mr. cooldude' loader message * Beneath a Steel Sky v0.288 (En)(Fr)(De)(It)(Es) (1994)(Virgin Interactive Entertainment, Inc.)

[Adventure].zip - multilanguage installer, but always comes up english no matter what you select. I'd mark it as [b1], but it is totally playable in english. may be a demo version * 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. * 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:Comparing files SETUP.EXE and SETUP.EX_ 000021AC: 90 75 000021AD: 90 10* Blackhawk (1994)(Interplay Productions Ltd.)

[Action].zip - USA release. CD-ZIP of redump's bin cue http://redump.org/disc/29012/ which has a pile of demos on it too. * Blackthorne (Installer) [a1] (1994)(Interplay Productions, Inc.) [Action].zip - Floppy release. taken from independent set which file match tgod 003030 which is known to be home-made. IMA set in floppy collection. * Blackthorne [a1] (1994)(Interplay Productions, Inc.) [Action].zip - Unknown source. weird build of .exe file. It actually looks like a debug release. dat file has different sound settings, so ignore that. * Blackthorne (demo) [a1] (1994)(Interplay Productions, Inc.) [Action].zip - different than what the installer produces. Couldn't get it to work with sound. * Blagtron v3.01 [a1] (1994)(Pedro Alexandre Timóteo) [Action].zip - A newer release, with modified readme.txt file. No code changes. * Blue Force v1.11 (Installer) (1994)(Tsunami Media, Inc.) [Adventure].zip - This is taken off an ISO which appears to be from 1994. 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. * Bookie Bookworm- Goldilocks and the Three Bears (Installer) [SW][b1] (1994)(Cloud Nine Creative Group) [Educational].zip - can't get any of the Bookie Bookworm products to install under DOSBox. tagged as [b1] until they can be checked on another emulator or true DOS machine. May require separating the data back into disk 1/disk 2. * Boppin' (Installer) [SW][a1] (1994)(Apogee Software, Ltd.) [Action].zip - "Shareware Episode" non [a1] is "Shareware Episode - Online Edition" Both produce the same core game files. * Boppin' v1.1 (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. * Casino Girls Video Poker (1994)(VCSI) [Strategy, Cards, Adult].zip - requires machine=svga_et4000 in dosbox config * Cheonha Mujeok (Kr) [h1] (1994)(Softry Game Production) [Action].zip - giant intro/loader to start the game (after the game's intro) * 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. * Comanche CD (1994)(NovaLogic, Inc.) [Action, Simulation, Compilation].zip - Unpatched version via the installer. This does not have the speed fixes applied- get the Commanche CD patch to fix it. * Creature Shock (Multi-6) (1994)(Virgin Interactive Entertainment, Inc.) [Action].zip - reduce dosbox's speed down from maximum if the game crashes at first play * Dawn Patrol (Installer) [a1] (1994)(Empire Interactive Entertainment) [Simulation][!].zip - appears to be more installer-like than the other version. This is most certainly the retail version. * Dark Legions (1994)(Strategic Simulations, Inc.) [Action, Strategy].zip - crack:Comparing files DL.EXE and DL.EX_ 00024C35: 90 75 00024C36: 90 05* Dark Legions (Installer) [a1] (1994)(Strategic Simulations, Inc.) [Action, Strategy].zip - Likely the CD rom release, as it contains a demo for Menzoberannzan too. * Dark Wolf v1.4 [SW][a1] (1994)(D'India Software) [Action].zip - Appears to have embedded soundcard drivers inside the main .exe. Comparing to the non [a1] it's soundblaster vs. adlib * 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". What more proof of unfinished-ness is needed? ;) * Desert Strike- Return to the Gulf (1994)(Gremlin Interactive Ltd.) [Action].zip - crack:Comparing files DESERT.DA_ and DESERT.DAT 00004B3E: 74 EB 000050D1: 74 C6 000050D2: 0B 06 000050D3: FE 7B 000050D4: 0E 3A 000050D5: 7D 02 000050D6: 3A EB 000050D7: 0F 06* Desert Strike- Return to the Gulf [a1] (1994)(Gremlin Interactive Ltd.) [Action].zip - different (single byte!) crack:Comparing files DESERT.DA_ and DESERT.DAT 000050D1: 74 EB* Desert Strike- Return to the Gulf [a2] (1994)(Gremlin Interactive Ltd.) [Action].zip - yet another crack. Renamed DESERT.EXE to DESERT.EX_ Extracted executable from .dat file and cracked it Renamed to DESERT.EXE and compressed it with DIET145 reduced its size by 80% Took timestamp from the DESERT.DAT for DESERT.EXE, since that's where the file came from * Desert Strike- Return to the Gulf CD (Installer) (1994)(Gremlin Interactive Ltd.) [Action].zip - CD-ZIP of the bin-cue available in TDC * Desert Strike- Return to the Gulf (Installer) (1994)(Gremlin Interactive Ltd.) [Action].zip - Taken from IMA files in TDC, both disks have a file called DTEST.EXE. In order to merge, the one on disk two is renamed to DTEST2.EXE. The game will require a crack, available in the cracks folder or use the pre-installed version. * Diamond Grab '94 [f1] (1994)(Todd A. Moore) [Action].zip - the fix (FIXINPUT.COM, thanks ripsaw8080) is only needed for DOSBox. * Discworld (demo) [a1] (1994)(Psygnosis Limited) [Adventure].zip - later build that references discworl.xmi * Disney's Beauty and the Beast- Be Our Guest [a1] (1994)(Walt Disney Computer Software, Inc.) [Educational].zip - completely different files, same game. * DKA Challenge [b1] (1994)(Pfizer Pharmaceuticals) [Simulation].zip - Too weird not to include, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to operate correctly. May be incomplete since it mentions a start.bat that doesn't exist in the archive. * Dominus (Installer) [f1] (1994)(U.S. Gold Ltd.) [Strategy].zip - Rebuilt spanned zips to 1 file to eliminate floppy needs. * DOOM II- Hell on Earth v1.7 (Installer) (1994)(id Software, Inc.) [Action][!].zip - bytematch to diskette copy from original source * Dynamite Men (1994)(Christof Ruch) [Action].zip - May need to exit the game and re-start it if it doesn't detect a space bar keypress to start it. DOSBox debug builds must have parallel1=printer in DOSBox configuration or the game will not run. use start.bat which sets up the required environment variables and launches the game. * Eardis- Revolution Force [h1] (1994)(Soft Action, Bogo World) [Action].zip - graffiti on launch * EGA Trek v3.1 [SW][a1] (1994)(Nels Anderson) [Strategy].zip - Appears to be a UK version. Code may have been patched for the runtime error. * Eight Goddess Story 1 (Zh) [a1] (1994)(Bird of Paradise Software) [Role-Playing (RPG), Adult].zip - different exe file, no version number found, but then it may be in Korean, so I missed it. * Empire Soccer 94 (1994)(Empire Software) [Sports][!].zip - Taken from known good kfx/IMA set. crack:Comparing files SOCCER.EXE and SOCCER.EX_ 000038AD: EB 75 000038AE: 09 1D* Epic Pinball vx.x [SWR] (1994)(Epic MegaGames, Inc.) [Action].zip - Every time a music selection is changed, the DRV files update themselves with the settings. * Epic Pinball v2.1 [SWR] (1994)(Romware GMBH) [Action].zip - this is a CD-ZIP of the ISO image of the same name. * Epic Pinball v2.1 [SWR][a1] (1994)(Romware GMBH) [Action].zip - this is a CD-ZIP of the redump bin/cue Epic Pinball v2.1 [SWR] (1994)(Romware GMBH) [bin-cue].zip. It is from october 94 whereas the ISO version is from June 94. Both say v2.1. * Evasive Maneuvers v1.2 [SW][a1] (1994)(Exaggerated Software) [Action].zip - uncompressed compared to non [a1] but also has a small patch. unknown which is original. * Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy, The (Multi-5) (1994)(Codemasters Software Company Limited, The) [Action].zip - not much of an installer, it just concatenates the 2 big files and renames the _'s to their proper names. Included only for completeness. * FIFA International Soccer (En)(De)(Fr)(Es) (1994)(Electronic Arts, Inc.) [Sports].zip - not a typo, it supports 1 less language, even though LANG5.DAT (Italian) is physically present. * FIFA International Soccer (En)(De)(Fr)(Es)(It) (1994)(Electronic Arts, Inc.) [Sports].zip - requires cputype=386_prefetch in dosbox config. Different fifa.exe than the non-italian version, so must be a bit of a bugfix. * FIFA International Soccer (Installer) (En)(De)(Fr)(Es) (1994)(Electronic Arts, Inc.) [Sports][!].zip - taken from [ima/kfx] set in TDC. No Italian support. Installing from the C: drive in dosbox instead of a mounted floppy drive will avoid the disk checks. Alternatively, the disk_id info data is stored in plaintext at the end of FIFA.001. offset 0x140114 0x140438 can be changed from 2,3 to 1,1 to let installer recycle the same disk.id file. * Flash Traffic- City of Angels (Installer) (1994)(Sigma Designs, Inc.) [Adventure].zip - CD-ZIP of the 3xISO CD image. This is the reelMagic MPEG player release. * Flying Tigers (Es) (1994)(Ticsoft) [Action].zip - probably [b1] - there are lots of files truncated to 2 bytes. * Fortress of Dr. Radiaki (Installer) [f1] (1994)(Merit Studios, Inc.) [Action].zip - fixed to allow installation under DOSBox/single folder. Original game had many floppies with the same file on each, so was a PITA to install. * Fox Collection, The (En)(Fr) (1994)(Titus France SA) [Compilation].zip - only runs off a mounted CD rom drive, for example: mount e "c:\temp\dosbox" -t cdrom then run from drive e: in dosbox * Frankenstein (1994)(Merit Studios (Europe) Ltd.) [Action].zip - appears to require a joystick? * Front Page Sports- Baseball '94 v1.0w (1994)(Sierra On-Line, Inc.)

[Simulation, Sports].zip - different files which are not understood yet. editor.exe fails, but does not crash out as badly as the non-a1 for example. * Front Page Sports- Football Pro '95 v1.03 (1994)(Dynamix, Inc.) [Simulation, Sports].zip - same crack as 1.0 above * Gemstones III v1.1 [SW] (1994)(William D. Rinehart) [Action].zip - just a few bytes make this v1.1, looks kinda hacked instead of actually re-compiled. * Girlfriend v2.7 [f1] (1994)(AIVR Corp.) [Simulation, Adult].zip - user name must be "Nikel". Fixed due to dosbox not being able to handle a space in the filename where the license is located (folder named: ~-_~-_ ~), so a 2nd folder without a space was created. * Girlfriend Speaks! (1994)(AIVR Corp.) [Simulation, Adult, Addon].zip - Requires the above. if you use this addon, it will replace the fixed gf.exe, and will no longer work in dosbox. * God of Thunder CD [SWR] (1994)(Advantage Plus Distributors Inc.) [Action].zip - CD-ZIP of redump's bin-cue http://redump.org/disc/36776/ version is apparently 1.0:143 * Goldene Maehne des Samson, Die (Demo) (De) [a1] (1994)(Ad Games, Samson) [Adventure].zip - Every .exe file seems to be different from the existing demo and non-demo in TDC. This zip seems somewhat closer to the demo than the full game WRT files and archive size, but it is unclear if this too is a demo. No version number found. * Grandest Fleet, The v05.27.94 (Installer) (1994)(Quantum Quality Productions) [Strategy].zip - Sourced from TGOD#2969. DISK.ID on disks 2 and 3 renamed to bundle into zip. Installing from C: to C: allows the disk check to by bypassed. Alternatively the disk label requirements are embedded in GFLEET.001 starting at offset 0x141732 Change all 3 "Disk x" strings to "Disk 1" DOSBox install will fail on SVGA detection and tries to create VGA rebuild ; just select NO * Grandest Fleet, The v05.27.94 (1994)(Quantum Quality Productions) [Strategy].zip - crack:Comparing files 0COVER0.OV_ and 0COVER0.OVL 000010DA: 74 EB 00001102: 74 EB* Grandest Fleet, The v06.01.94 CD (Installer) (1994)(Quantum Quality Productions) [Strategy].zip - CD-ZIP of bin-cue image in TDC.

Had to edit hammer.bat to stop the game from running the intro as my dosbox didn't like parsing the batch file. Totally playable.Replaced by below. * Hammer of the Gods [f1] (1994)(New World Computing, Inc.) [Adventure, Simulation, Strategy].zip - Merged CD content (intro) with game content so no CD is needed. Taken off bin-cue so the graphics files (see above) are back to being original. The game may still have audio tracks on the original CD which cannot be brought into this zip file. * HardBall II (1994)(Accolade, Inc.) [Sports].zip - This appears to be a re-release (see readme) from floppy tgod 002943_hardball_2.zip or 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.)

[Action, Addon].zip - found in Apogee Exclusive Skylauncher Pack on CGBOARD. Upgrades SW to SWR. Seems like a hack? File dates are also > 1994. * Horde, The (ReelMagic) (Installer) (1994)(Crystal Dynamics) [Action, Strategy].zip - Requires ReelMagic hardware and drivers. * Horde, The v1.1 (1994)(Crystal Dynamics, Inc.)

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 - Slightly different file set, includes a file called ORION.001 which may not even be related to the game. * 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.)

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. * Jeopardy! Sports Edition (Installer) [h1] (1994)(GameTek, Inc.) [Strategy].zip - installer has a loader/pirate group ad. * Jungle War (Zh) [h1] (1994)(King Formation Co., Ltd) [Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - small, text-only 'cracked by mr. cooldude' loader messages * 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 [a1] (1994)(Titus France SA) [Racing - Driving].zip - different set of files, same game. Uses TSR crack. * Lamborghini- American Challenge [a2] (1994)(Titus France SA) [Racing - Driving].zip - another different set of files, this time smaller ones. * Laser Squad (En)(De)(Fr)(It)(Es) (1994)(Krisalis Software Ltd.) [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.) [Adventure].zip - Missing talk files, possibly more. Must set digital audio to none. Best known dump * Leisure Suit Larry's Greatest Hits and Misses! (1994)(Sierra On-Line, Inc.)

(1994)(Sierra On-Line, Inc.) [bin-cue].zip" The European release from redump CRC32: B39BF080, CRC32: AB3B4BBE, contains identical contents and thus is not required in TDC. * Life v1.06 [SW][a1] (1994)(Al Hensel) [Simulation, Educational].zip - different address for registering * Litil Divil (1994)(Gremlin Graphics Software Limited) [Action].zip - This is an odd version. Is the 1993 version of the .exe yet has some additional levels that are not included on the v1.5 CD listed below. * Litil Divil v1.5 (Installer) (1994)(Philips Interactive Media, Inc.) [Action].zip - CD-ZIP of the ccd image set under the same name. Hopefully this is the USA version, otherwise the publisher would be "Gremlin Graphics Software Limited" * 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. This .02 version is almost identical to the [a1] release in 1989, but has 2 additional files TANKA02.CR3 and TANKB02.CR3.

Publisher may not be accurate. source1.rsc is vastly different in size. Would love to find an ISO image and scans to find out where this came from. * Magic Carpet (Multi-4) (1994)(Electronic Arts, Inc.) [Action].zip - may be beta v8 * Man Enough v1.10 (Installer) (1994)(Tsunami Media, Inc.) [Adventure, Adult].zip - CD-ZIP of the 2 ISO images also in TDC. The installer will ask for a floppy for updates, the files off it are also included in this archive. * Menzoberranzan v1.0f (1994)(Strategic Simulations, Inc.) [Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - crack:Comparing files CODE.2 and CODE.2_ 0005E289: 33 85 0005E28B: EB 74* Metaltech- Earthsiege (1994)(Sierra On-Line, Inc.) [Simulation].zip - Run soundset before playing. Don't use GUS or it will crash. This is the floppy version as generated from the English only installer. An interesting this about this is that the file dates are all set to 10-25-1995, which almost matches the text on the floppy disks themselves which says "10.25.94". I wonder if someone fat-fingered the date on their PC that mastered these copies? * Metaltech- Earthsiege [a1] (1994)(Sierra On-Line, Inc.) [Simulation].zip - some different files. the readme in the install directory still says version 1.0, but this one has a date+time in the file of "3/21/94 20:49:42.12" so this appears to be a later update. * Metaltech- Earthsiege (Installer) (En)(Fr)(De) (1994)(Sierra On-Line, Inc.) [Simulation].zip - CD-ZIP of the ISO image also available in TDC. We believe this is the CD-ROM version released in Germany. * Metaltech- EarthSiege (Installer) [a1] (1994)(Sierra On-Line, Inc.) [Simulation].zip - CD-ZIP of the English only bin-cue image. * Microprose Formula One Grand Prix v1.05 (En)(De)(Fr) (1994)(MicroProse Ltd.) [Racing - Driving, Sports].zip - CD-ZIP of the PowerPlus CD release. bin/cue image from redump also available. * Microsoft Space Simulator (Installer) (1994)(Microsoft Corporation) [Educational, Simulation].zip - the serial number for each release appears to be embedded into setup.exe at location 0xC54E which makes tracking particularly annoying. * Microsoft Space Simulator (Installer) [a1] (1994)(Microsoft Corporation) [Educational, Simulation].zip - Appears to be a pre-release. Readme says "work in progress" There is no serial number for this release. * MNLTris v1.01 [h1] (1994)(MNL soft) [Action, Strategy].zip - loader/intro from the bumbleb folk. * Mortal Kombat (1994)(Acclaim Entertainment, Inc.)

Press the about box and it crashes. * Mystic Midway- Rest in Pieces [b1] (1994)(Philips Interactive Media, Inc.) [Action].zip - Most files are duplicates of each other, so I think this was a Cd-RIP when released. Playable, Best dump known. * NASCAR Racing CD (1994)(Virgin Interactive Entertainment, Inc.) [Racing - Driving, Simulation, Sports].zip - CD version (hence the name) and minor files changed. See paintkit\SCICON.PCX and SCICONB.PCX compared to floppy version as examples. Just to be clear, there are US and EU versions available as floppy and CD images, then a bunch of re-releases so this is very complicated to keep track of. * NASCAR Racing CD (Installer) (1994)(Virgin Interactive Entertainment (Europe) Ltd.) [Racing - Driving, Simulation, Sports].zip - CD-ZIP of the redump bin-cue under the same name. http://redump.org/disc/48853/ * NCAA- Road to the Final Four 2 (1994)(Bethesda Softworks LLC) [Sports].zip - crack:Comparing files NCAA2HR.EXE and NCAA2HR.EX_ 0005C2DB: 90 0F 0005C2DC: 90 85 0005C2DD: 90 D6 0005C2DE: 90 00 0005C2DF: 90 00 0005C2E0: 90 00 Comparing files NCAA2LR.EXE and NCAA2LR.EX_ 0005C2D3: 90 0F 0005C2D4: 90 85 0005C2D5: 90 D6 0005C2D6: 90 00 0005C2D7: 90 00 0005C2D8: 90 00* Need for Speed, The (1994)(Electronic Arts, Inc.)

Not an installer, seems to only run from the root directory of any drive.

Best known dump, but doesn't work.Turns out this is only the SVGA file set for the VGA version which we're currently missing.

There's also a TSR based one in the cracks folder. * Pretty Girl Campaign (美少女戰記) (Installer) (Zh) [b1] (1994)(Art. 9 Entertainment) [Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - may not be bad, but requires special handling of the DISK.DSK files outside of DOSBox to get it to install.

[Strategy].zip - Install version 2.0, game version unknown. Non [ax] is also version 2.0 installer, but the game data itself is unpacked. * Sabre Team (Installer) (En)(De)(Fr)(It)(Es) [a2] (1994)(Krisalis Software Ltd., MicroLeague Multimedia, Inc.) [Strategy].zip - Install version 1.04, game version unknown. * Sabre Team (En)(De)(Fr)(It)(Es) [a2] (1994)(Krisalis Software Ltd., MicroLeague Multimedia, Inc.) [Strategy].zip - has some additional files, like TITLE.PAC, JUNGLE.DAT which may be more complete than other copies. Main .exe's are also different. * Scubaman's Quest [SW][a1] (1994)(Alive Software) [Action].zip - says 1.0 and SW, but nearly every file is different * Search for Freedom (Installer) [SW] (1994)(Howard Feldman) [Adventure, Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - won't install under DOSBox as it tries to write something to the install disk. Use the installed version instead. * Shadows of Cairn [b1] (1994)(Masque Publishing, Inc.) [Action].zip - taken from classic fond, so it appears to be a pre-installed and somewhat ripped version. Best known dump. * ShadowForce v1.1 [SWR] (1994)(MVP Software) [Adventure].zip - you'll want the dosbox patch to fix the soundblaster issue if using DOSBox for this game. Also needs "loadfix -20" in DOSBox, or alternatively ems=emm386 in SVN, to avoid audio glitches. * ShadowForce v1.1 [SWR][f1] (1994)(MVP Software) [Adventure].zip - patched version to fix above soundblaster issue. Still requires loadfix -20 as described above * Sherlock Holmes- Consulting Detective upgrade v5.1 (1994)(ICOM Simulations, Inc.) [Adventure, Simulation, Addon].zip - unzip the 1991 version and overwrite files with this * SimHealth [a1] (1994)(Maxis Software Inc.) [Educational, Simulation, Strategy].zip - use machine=svga_et4000 if you get no video - this version says no version at all in the About window. It may be a beta. the non [a1] says v1.0 * Sinaria- Lost in Space! [SWR] (1994)(Joe Hillman, John Pollard) [Action].zip - I have a sneaky suspicion that this is actually a hack and not registered. The only difference in the exe is a text string. * Slot Poker v1.02 (1994)(Personal Companion Software) [Strategy, Cards].zip - shovelware re-release of the game which was actually released in 1992.* Spear of Destiny Mission 2- Return To Danger (Installer) (1994)(FormGen, Inc.) [Action, Addon].zip - requires SOD to already be installed in C:\SPEAR and only installs from the A: drive (mount it in dosbox) * Sid Meier's Colonization CD v2.25 (En)(Fr) (1994)(MicroProse Software, Inc.) [Simulation, Strategy].zip - Files taken off CD so they are read-only. This makes saving the sound setup difficult, so change the attributes of "config.col" in whatever language you're playing in to read/write. * Spear of Destiny Mission Disks - Mission 3- Ultimate Challenge (Installer) (1994)(FormGen, Inc.) [Action, Addon].zip - requires SOD to already be installed in C:\SPEAR and only installs from the A: drive (mount it in dosbox) * Spell It 3 [b1] (1994)(Davidson & Associates, Inc.)

[Simulation].zip - sampler (says shareware) version of the game. no map feature for example. * Star Wars- TIE Fighter (Installer) (1994)(LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC) [Action, Simulation].zip - DISK.IDx will need to be swapped out to DISK.ID in a separate window (then press ctrl-f4 to refresh dosbox) Then copy front.ovl over the top of the installed game to apply the crack. * Star Wars- TIE Fighter - Defender of the Empire (Installer) (1994)(LucasArts) [Action, Simulation, Addon].zip - must be installed after TIE fighter is. Disk.ID will need to be modified from "disk 1" to "disk 2" during installation. Run crack.com after installing. * SubWar 2050 Campaign Disk v3.01 (Installer) (1994)(MicroProse Software, Inc.) [Simulation, Addon].zip - copy sw.exe from this archive over the installed one. Requires subwar to be installed first. - crack:Comparing files SW.EXE and SW.EX_ 00030BB7: EB 74* Subwar 2050- The Plot Deepens v3.0 (Installer) (En)(Fr)(De) (1994)(MicroProse Software, Inc.)

Has less files, like LEVELx.SNG and .exe size is different. * Tangram v1.1 [SW][a1] (1994)(Judah Warshaw) [Strategy].zip - different .exe file, yet same version. Originally zipped up missing .doc and file_id.diz which caused the program to fail to start. Copied those 2 files from non [a1] version * Theatre of Death (Multi-4) (1994)(Psygnosis Limited) [Action, Strategy].zip - crack only works when running TOD.EXE which (I think) defaults to using the english version. If you run ITALIA.EXE for example, the crack fails. crack:Comparing files TOD.EXE and TOD.EX_ 0000027E: 90 3B 0000027F: A3 06 00000282: EB 74* Theatre of Death (Multi-4) (Installer) (1994)(Psygnosis Limited) [Action, Strategy].zip - the file DISKNUM.DAT is re-used across each of the 5 disks. you'll have to rename each to DISKNUMx.DAT to DISKNUM.DAT as required during install, or just use the already installed version! * 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. * Tom Landry Strategy Football Deluxe Edition (1994)(Merit Software) [Sports, Strategy].zip - crack:Comparing files FOOTBALL.EXE and FOOTBALL.EX_ 000489E7: 33 0B* Treasure Galaxy! (Installer) (1994)(The Learning Company, Inc.) [Adventure, Educational].zip - When installer asks for the next disk, press F4 in DOSBox, then press a key in the installer. * Tubular Worlds [SW][a1] (1994)(Dongleware Verlags GmbH) [Action].zip - Just the exit screen is different. Looks like it was hex edited in there, no actual code changes. * Tubular Worlds (demo) [a1] (1994)(Dongleware Verlags GmbH) [Action].zip - different builds of part1, part2 but identical display/gameplay. * U.S. Navy Fighters (1994)(Electronic Arts, Inc.)

Oddly, there are still references to music files inside the .exe. Crack is the same as below, offset is 0xEB4D * Universe (En)(It)(Fr)(De) (1994)(Core Design Ltd.) [Adventure].zip - crack:Comparing files UNIVERSE.EXE and UNIVERSE.EX_ 0000B143: EB 74* Unnecessary Roughness v1.01 (1994)(Accolade, Inc.)

It appears to be an updated version of Vikings I with sound support. * Virtuoso (En)(Fr)(De) (1994)(Vic Tokai, Inc.) [Action].zip - crack:Comparing files VIRTUOSO.EXE and VIRTUOSO.EX_ 00034293: 90 75 00034294: 90 20 000342B3: EB 74* Wacky Wheels v1.1 [SWR][a1] (1994)(Apogee Software, Ltd.) [Action].zip - single byte difference in ww.exe, may be due to corruption. * Wacky Wheels v1.1 [SWR][a2] (1994)(Apogee Software, Ltd.) [Action].zip - Matches base ww.exe, so makes more sense [a1] is corrupt. ww-help.exe is totally different. * Walls of Rome (1994)(Action 16) [Strategy].zip - direct CD-ZIP of [bin-cue] CD image. Has original W.EXE renamed as W.EX_ and cracked W.EXE added. * Warcraft- Orcs & Humans v1.12 (1994)(Blizzard Entertainment Inc.)

[Strategy].zip - The installer will automatically run setup.exe, which is uncracked. Exit with Alt-X and run the crack.exe, then run setup.exe again. * WarWizard v2.2 [SW] (1994)(MicroGenesis) [Role-Playing (RPG)].zip - requires xcopy.exe to be in the DOS path under DOSBox (or in the game folder). Other versions may require this too. * Wacky Wheels v1.1 [SWR][a1] (1994)(Apogee Software, Ltd.) [Action].zip - a few single byte changes in 2 files. may be corruption, but I am not sure if this one is corrupt or the non [a1] yet. * Winter Sports (Installer) (1994)(Mindscape SA) [Sports, Action].zip - Install to something other than WSPORTS if you're installing to the same drive you're installing from, otherwise the installer will overwrite itself. * World Cup USA 94 (En)(De)(Fr)(It) (1994)(U.S. Gold Ltd.) [Sports].zip - use arrow keys, TAB and space to move and select. * Xatax [SWR][a1] (1994)(Pixel Painters Corporation) [Action].zip - single byte differences in main.exe and xatax.exe. corrupt or patch? * Xi You Ji (Zh)(En) (1994)(Panda Entertainment Technology Co., Ltd.) [Action].zip - uncracked west.ex_ included, but it does not match in the slightest the cracked .exe file. * Zipman III v1.2 [SW] (1994)(Zipteam) [Action].zip - game stores high scores directly in the .exe, so many alternate versions can exist. * Zool 2 [a2] (1994)(Gremlin Graphics Software Ltd.) [Action].zip - another crack, this time modifying the .exe and not the .dat * Zool 2 (beta) (1994)(Gremlin Graphics Software Ltd.) [Action].zip - crack:Comparing files ZOOL2.DAT and ZOOL2.DA_ 000014A4: 36 20* Zool 2 (vendor demokit) (1994)(PC Player) [Action].zip - This allowed magazine companies to embed their magazine advertisement, by inserting an image.
