Hopkins should run in latest ScummVM releases.

Don’t forget to back up regularly. CDs lose their ‘memory’ after a while (sometimes frighteningly fast!)!

Regelmäßiges Sichern nicht vergessen. CDs verlieren nach einiger Zeit (teils erschreckend schnell!) ihr ‘Gedächtnis’!

Die sind dunkel und weich gelagert :wink:

Yup, those are the games. Thanks for the help! I had found Hopkins some time back on Archive.org, but its good to find Abuse! As for the rest, still not found (except French version of EUS and English demo of EUS…which were great to find anyway! Still need English full version of EUS too)

If you find the CD with those and can back it up and share I would be incredibly grateful!

Fantastic! Thank you! I have tested it and it is the full US version. I want to really thank you for joining the forums and contributing this. I am not sure how many people out there still have this, especially considering it sold in low numbers to begin with. And, with the passage to time (and of people) I really did not have much hope at all to ever see it again.

I also want to once again thank everybody who helped! I now have the full US, French and demo versions which is great. I will not lose them again :slight_smile:

Now I just need to see if I can find the rest of the lost titles:

ACiD Solitaire
Civilization
Axia

I think that was it?

ACiD Tetris

Great! Thanks for ACiD Tetris! Great to archive these. I greatly appreciate it!

Does that include Space Girl?

I don’t know @dcatt , did you look?

Downloaded Eric’s Ultimate Solitaire and it works perfectly!

Unfortunately ACiD Tetris doesn’t launch; it gives me a “This file was mistakenly marked as executable” and the file info says it’s an Old BeOS Application.

Try “Golf”. Best card game ever!

I have both Civilization Call to power AND Corum 3 in retail boxes at home.
I have made ISO’s and scanned the manuals and have them on my server at home.
I have a plan to make a torrent out of them but never gotten to it.
I’ll check if I can make them available somehow.
I’ll be back about that.

There’s a version of ACiD Tetris on the BeOS R3.2 Demo CD:

Note that it somehow rendered my BeOS 5 partition unbootable from bootman…

BeOS R3 x86 binaries will not run on anything other than BeOS R3 x86.

There are a small number of closed source BeOS apps which were not updated after R3 and hence can only be run on R5 on PowerPC. Indeed there are a few PowerPC only apps that were never updated for R3 on Intel either.

Corum 3 for BeOS v4.5.2 and v5 is now uploaded to drropbox, links below:

Complete archive (both CD’s, box pictures and scanned manual 7z’ed, 827Mb

I hope the link works, first time trying this stunt.

Notify me if the files don’t work, I have not tried to burn the ISO’s myself.

Link to the BeOS folder in case you want Corum 3 in 2 parts:

I’ll have to solve the scanning of the manual to Civ CTP, my scanner doesn’t work with books.
Multifunction printer, bah…

Scanned the whole manual for Civilization Call to power.

I created a 7z archive with everything, even the reference charts.

Link below, I hope it works.

Notify me if something doesn’t work

PS. The reference charts was made with a camera, but if you zoom in on the picture you should be able to follow the lines.
