Hi!

Recently I bought and repaired the box of Master of Magic.
Alas, only 2 out of 7 disks work, all others either won't be read or stop at some point with errors.

In order to experience the real thing I'm looking (legally) for a version of the game that provides actual images of the floppies.
Swapping disks was kinda fun 😀

I have GOG but it installs the game to a directory, no images 🙁

Thanks for any input!

Hi,

Unfortunately I don't think any of the digital download versions contains the original floppy images. I know it is not the original installer feeling, but I think the closest that you can get legally with the online versions is to compress the GOG classic DOS version after installing as a multiple file ARJ archive and extract it on the target computer. (At least there will be still disk swapping 😁)

Unfortunately I don't have my original copy of Master of Magic, and I had to re-buy it from GOG, so I also don't have floppies 🙁
