Re: Interesting find

Many of these came from stolen media.  Usually at Applefest shows.  I
remember one person who stole such a disk that had similar material on
it.  Source codes to the game, some copy protection information and so
on.  I don't recall the game, but it had something to do with building
your own superhero's or something like that.  I don't think it ever
made to the light of day.
