That's a little bit OT, but i think funny to know:
Cinemaware did this some years ago: in germany (and maybe in other countries)
they re-released a special version of "Defender of the Crown" (not Robin Hood;
if i remember correctly it was a Flash-version with new graphics). On the CD
were (as a bonus) some disk-images of the original games for serveral computers
- even the C64. And this was a cracked version with a build-in trainer. :)
(but in contrast to Ironstone, Cinemaware put all old disk-images for free on
their homepage).
Bye,
Tim
