I was going to wait until I could compile and author a disk (if it's even possible) before sharing this, but, what the hell...
No promises that anything exciting will come of this...

They are readable. I've already copied them over to hard disk.  |

would you mind dumping the disks into disk images and sharing them? It's the best way to preserve them.
Where have you found that stuff, by the way? |

I think they are in the safest hands possible - and we never ask where they come from.
Can we change Bitrate's status from Demi-God to God please! _________________ "purge with fire Bretheren"

Considering that it says Williams on the Mac disc thats in the picture we can assume that the 3do version was handled by them as well and I guess they might have sold their stuff around this period:
| Quote: | Up until about 1992, Williams Electronic Games Inc. had been developing videogames as well as manufacturing pinball machines. Most of the videogames containing the Williams label were renditions of coin-op games. In 1994, WMS Industry purchased Tradewest and renamed it Williams Entertainment Inc. Williams Entertainment Inc. published, developed and distributed their own unique games as well as those made by their fellow subsidiary Midway Games.
Then in 1996 WMS Industries acquired Time-Warner Interactive Inc., which included Atari Games. It is believed that this purchase kick-started the 1996 formation of Midway Home Entertainment Inc., a division of Midway Games Inc. Williams Entertainment Inc. was merged into the new corporation and an Atari Games Division was formed. In 1998 Midway Games Inc. was spun off and sold to its stockholders to become independently owned and operated. |
It appears they mainly do gambling/casino stuff these days http://www.wms.com/
Just pure speculation from me :p |

If you need a hand building it into an ISO, let me know. I still have my dev environment set up. _________________ The Retro Review Project |

You're right on that they only do casino/gambling stuff. The company I work for licenses titles from them. Ah.. how things change  |

Hey Bitrate,
That's really sweet man. I'm glad to see something like that, is in the hands of someone who values it, and not somebody who goes "oh..what's this? eh.." n just throws it out. Hell, that could be the last copy of those out there!
If you someone manage to compile that onto a playable disc, I'd hope you'd share it.
Awhile back I had talked with Andrew Loony at bit, and I know he still has a dev kit and stuff. Perhaps I could ask em if he'd be willing to help out or something. |

Done!
This is a real find! I'd be amazed if you can construct a game from it, the fact you have original art assets on a CD is enough to blow my socks off!  _________________ 3DO ZERO Forums|CDinteractive Forums|The Black Moon Project |

Would changing the Kid's status to "messiah" be pushing it ?
I'd just like add a message I got from RJ regarding this post :
RJ Mical November 30 at 2:59pm
I wish there was some way to uncover the 3DO security codes.
