I know that we had that one. I have no idea if I've still got the disks for it.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
And disk 3 is corrupt. And now my floppy drive wants to format any disk I put into it, even the ones that worked not five minutes ago.
Your machine is obviously infected by ghost toasters. That fly.
So, I installed the flying toasters on my MacBook. It's cool - there's just one disappointment. When I first saw the flying toasters, what really cracked me up was that it had a slider that controlled how toasted each piece of toast was. This version doesn't have that. Oh well.

Sonofagun, I've got the Opus & Bill disks, and they were still readable!

I should mention that I haven't tried to install it, so caveat emptor, etc.

Ooh - this is cool. HOW TO - Make A Cylon Jack-O-Lantern
(Old-school Cylon. With glowy eye thing, of course.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Very cool, Jon. Thanks.

They seem to work in XP. The best way to install it is to unzip everything into the same directory. Extracting the files to individual disk folders only gets the first disk installed and lots of error messages.
I did get an interesting and persistent error message when I first started it up, but it disappeared once I started testing the savers. That may also have been due to interaction with ZoneAlarm.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Ha. cool. Thanks
I have the opus and bill "on the road again" edition for both Mac and PC in their original boxes. Several in fact.
I made disk images of the things available a couple of years ago. wonder where they are?

Possibly someone might be interested in this:
Welcome to the official online archive of Computer Gaming World magazine, where you can read and download digitized versions* of the first 100 issues of the magazine, beginning with the first issue in November 1981, and then see covers of all the rest of the magazine's run through the final issue in November 2006.
Founded in 1981 by Russell Sipe, Computer Gaming World began life as a small, self-published, independent magazine for the then small community of computer game hobbyists (it was, in fact, the first magazine dedicated to the hobby), but grew over the years into one of the most important and powerful media voices in all of digital entertainment, thanks to its strong editorial voice and reputation for tough but fair reviews.
