These mini cds are sweet but i am not too sure on what games without cd audio that wont be too big for these... Any reccomendations? Im thinking those cd re-releases of dos games on a lot of floppies originally. Or any apps that might be amusing or useful. I owned xcom and tftd back in the day, they should be small enough.

I had a random business card once in cd format. Was there extra but useless cd standards? The packaging of this set doesnt have any iso numbers, yet my cd rom drive trays all seem to have the cutout for this exact size. Intriguing.

Cheers

Sam and Max talkie is just over 200MB uncompressed. So it should fit. Or you want to play straigth from the CD?

I am aroused about any X86 motherboard that has full functional ISA slot. I think i have problem. Not really into that original (Turbo) XT,286,386 and CGA/EGA stuff. So just a DOS nut.
PS. If I upload RAR, it is a 16-bit DOS RAR Version 2.50.

I'd like to play from cd yeah. They are 185mb so that one might not work. I'll look into the other talkies, some might be the cinderella fit 😀 thanks for the idea!

Well yo should also beware, that some games do not like to run from write protected media, that they hold teir configuration files and save files in home directory, and they can not be moved.

I've been meaning to check out MadDog McCree and Willy Beamish for a while, so this is great.
