ISTR that disk 2 had the score files on, my copy had an install
program on disk 1 which copied the lot to a hdd, you had to put disk1
into the system when you ran it off this as a keydisk, but then
everything else ran off the HDD - much faster.

The only game this just didn't work on was Nevryon, but I think they
updated the games after around 94 or sometime around then, as I had an
older set of games which couldn't be installed on HDD, but my friend
had the same games which had the install program etc.

Andrew.
