The beauty of this particular edition is that the copy protection is
stripped. It runs without comment on the 486. PC Gamer really outdid
themselves with that cover disc; it contains full versions of Duke Nukem
II, Alone in the Dark, the original Monkey Island, Terminal Velocity,
Descent, XCOM, Wing Commander I (alas rewritten for Win32, eyugh), Ultima
1: The First Age of Darkness, Red Baron, Betrayal at Krondor, Links,
Need For Speed 1, Ultima Underworld, and, of course, KQ1. All of them are
completely legal editions, and most of these games are on-topic :-)
