Well you said you own the original, didn't you?

Yes, but I don't have a scanner atm. The game itself is already preserved:
http://www.caps-project.org/games.php?search=Odyssey

Hence my confusion...

OK now I get it
I didn't know it was preserved, but I could have checked first! DOH!

Heck, none of those two versions has surfaced yet.
Maybe I will buy the original one day and/or supply some other bits to CAPS to finally get the IPF! *drool*

[edit] maybe THAT IS the problem of it all! there are (at least) two releases: a 1995 and a 1996 release! Perhaps one of those two works better.
Unfortunately though, it doesn't seem to be possible to find out that version. At least I could not find that 'aud304212X' string in any of the ADF images ...

How can you tell which year it is?

I looked at the file dates, but they are all invalid since they are all dated February 1992. Oh well, beats 1970 I guess.

Edit: That "aud" string is from the face of the coverdisk. If you look in HOL at the disk shot, you will also see that the disk also has a 1997 date on it!

Edit 2: The disk shot in HOL has the code "aud304312c" so I guess it is a later version than our aud304312a and aud304312b...

Because it's clearly written in the CAPS database entry you've just linked to
First - May 23rd, 1995 ('aud304312a')
Second - Feb 02nd, 1996 ('aud304312b')

Hence ...

Thanks. Ehm, you had better say "disk cover", as for me a coverdisk is a completely different thing

Indeed! I overlooked this.

Yep .. exactly!
It's a fact that CAPS misses the third version of which you can see the disk scan in HOL!

Third - June 02nd, 1997
