   It's one of a number of UNLICENSED products that appeared, with this company   
   also doing Amiga and Spectrum versions. It's a CD with approximately 3,000   
   games and 10,000 SID tunes downloaded from the Internet, with emulators and   
   music players for Windows    
   and Amiga.   
      
   The content (especially the emulators) are now very out of date. It's not   
   worth very much. I got mine for about half what it originally sold for, and   
   there are better archives out there.
