The files in this .ZIP archive are copied from an original CD-ROM.  Made for DOS; DOSbox recommended for use to run the game.  It can be aquired from    
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1
Installation instructions (in .TXT) included.  Icon file and original manual (in .PDF) also included.  Needs no update (CD ver. 1.22h).

This is actually a re-release--this copy, however, has a better .PDF of the original manual that also includes a map of the game world.  Enjoy!

Just one question: Is the CD from which you copied an ordinary CD (DATA-only), or is it a Mixed-Mode CD (DATA+Audio)?

I am asking this because there's another guy seeding Warcraft I, which is 540MB large (http://piratebayproxy.live/tor/3428542/[PC_-_GAMES]Warcraft_Orcs_and_Humans_by_Skyl3lazer).

This suggests that his CD is Mixed-Mode.

If yours is also, then you DID NOT copy it properly. The only way to PROPERLY copy a Mixed-Mode CD is to make an RAW (BIN+CUE) image of it.

Please inform me what yours CD is, because I would really like to have the proper copy!
Thanks for your time!

P.S.: If you need help for making a proper copy, I can help. Making a RAW image is not that simple if you want to make an error-free copy.
OK, if your CD is Data-only, then you have made nothing wrong. In other words, your copy is fine because this is an old DOS game which does not use autorun.inf files or some CD copy-protections (as you said).

FYI: Some old DOS games do come on Mixed-Mode CDs (like Worms United, Warcraft II, Quake, ...).
Some games also use Mixed-Mode CDs where the other part is Video, not Audio (or even both) (Duke Nukem 3D, Blood,...).


Most people just copy the data (like you did). The "problem" is that most of these games will still work without that special content, so people don't realize that it isn't a 1:1 copy.

For example, I've downloaded a Worms United torrent (around 80MB) a couple of months ago.
It was an ISO (2048secs) CD image. The game worked just fine, but soon I've realized that the original game comes on CD with a dozen of audio tracks.

If the seeder made a RAW (BIN+CUE) image instead of an ordinary data ISO image, it would include all the content. But it would be around 500MB large :)
Hey Winston!

Have you tried listening on the CD with your favorite CD-playing application?

There should be 1 datatrack and 7 audiotracks. And if there are audiotracks, could you please do as Bosanek suggested? I would also like to have this CD as complete as possible and Skyl3lazers release has some errors in the audiotracks.

TIA
I have downloaded Winstons' edition and tested it myself. It seems to be COMPLETE. In other words, it looks like the game he has does not feature audio tracks (there are various Warcraft editions in existance, so this is not surprising).

I have come to this conclusion because the game NOWHERE mentiones audio CD in the documentation or in the program itself.
This edition is still better than the ordinary floppy edition because it features video scenes.
i've followed all the instructions int the .txt file, but when i type install, DOSBox says that it's an illegal command. i don't understand why. PLS HELP!
sorry... i found how to do! thanks for this great torrent!
