A couple IBM PC rarities
Posted: Fri Jun 15, 2012 2:21 pm
I don't know where to put these, as I'm not up on my abandonware games. However: I have a pair of IBM PC rarities that have never been released before (as far as I know). These items are pristine, though not NIB they do not have copy protection and do not save to disk so they are just as they were years ago.
First up: Race for the West. One disk.
Scans of the (one) disk: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/56421988/disk-f ... d-back.jpg
Data files: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/56421988/Race_for_the_West.zip
Inside this folder are two items, "RAC" is what is actually stored to your PC after an installation. And then there's a disk rip performed with ddrescue in DiskImages.

Next: Zug's Dinosaur World, aka Zug's Dinosaur Discovery Kit. Four disks. UNFORTUNATELY, I am missing a disk. FORTUNATELY, I have an install - thus we have a playable game, just short one disk of installation media : )

Like Race for the West, there are two folders here: one titled "ZUG" which is an install taken from a PC. The other is DiskImages/ which contains ddrescue dumps of the three disks.

I do have a box for Zug, and manuals for both games. My scanner is not hooked up though. Given that I just suffered a hard drive failure the other day, I need to get what I have released to the wild before something catastrophic destroys this history.
