MegaTraveller CDRom

[Ash]

Hi all

i wonder if anyone can help, over at www.farfuture.net i was looking at the Megatraveller CDRom but on the picture (the only info i can find on the CDRoms contents) there is 3 books at the bottom i don't recognise.

link: http://www.farfuture.net/Contents CDROM MegaTraveller.pdf

looks like Megatraveller 1, 2, and 3 (which has draft on the title) the books have other parts to the name but i can't make it out from the picture.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Those are the box covers for the computer adventure games, MegaTraveller 1: The Zhodani Conspiracy, MegaTraveller 2: Quest for the Ancients, and apparently there was to be a third installment. They were available on floppy disks for DOS (and also Atari and Amiga) from Paragon Software in the day. I think they are (were) hosted on the net as abandonware but maybe this means they are included on the CD. Of course you'll need an emulator as well I guess.

The CD rom includes the paperwork associated with the games, but not the games themselves.

The games themselves do appear to be abandonware, and have been hosted for some time at Freelance Traveller - see the page at http://www.freelancetraveller.com/infocenter/swlist/winprogs.html for links and brief descriptions of both.

(N.B. The link above is good, but gets shortened when you read the message. It's http:// www.freelancetraveller.com / infocenter / swlist / winprogs.html and you can get there from the Freelance Traveller home page by selecting the links for Information Center, then Computer Connection, then Traveller Programs for DOS and Windows.)
