You remember we talk about GNOMEs here? This worked before linux was first run, this worked for so long. But nobody uses it and it surprises people who run into it? Rain makes you wet, as you will see when you go outside without an umbrella when it rains. Has been this for eternity. But I...

Yes, 3 discs. You will need the nocd patch because it will try to talk to the CD drive directly otherwise. BG is also on the menue, my Icewind Dale set is AWOL now. Good memories of long nights with a beer and cold pizza, strolling the map...
