I have a Stealth 3D 2000 and I have looked everywhere and can't find the dual CD that has Descent 2 and Destruction Derby and I am really wanting to play them. Can someone point me to a source that has an image for download please?

You find them with the complete boxes of Stealth 3D 2000 cards.

That advice would be helpful if I had a time machine 🤣

Here is a complete boxed one on eBay.

Don't post links to warez / abandonware.

Is it really warez if it came bundled with a specific card and requires that card to be able to run it?

Vendor lock-in doesn't make it any less copyrighted.

I didn't say it did.

If the specific card came with that game by default, then shouldn't everybody that owns one of those cards technically own a copy of the game as well?

In that case, you would just be downloading a backup copy.

Not really, think of this scenario
Early 2000's I've an old virge I'm no longer using to so give it to a friend who just needs a basic card for a parts machine.
He doesn't care about the software and I don't want to waste time digging around my game cd's
Now in a few years time if he download a copy then that 1 copy has multiplied. doesn't matter my CD is effectively useless without the card or maybe I'm playing in software mode.

That's the technical/legal side of the argument.
Me personally am grateful warez examples exist as lets face it in the example above I probably threw away that CD either before or defiantly after giving away the card meaning the S3D version would be lost to time.
