D&H Games with / without dongles!
Seems their are versions of D&H Games that don't require a dongle, not the CDS versions but actual D&H releases!
I noticed on D&H versions with a dongle the box has this sticker on it:  If there is no sticker on the box then the release has no dongle. Trawling through ebay listings seems to confirm this!! |

So far my boxed copies of D&H games with the sticker and their HOL entry:
Cricket Captain Multiplayer Soccer Manager There is boxshot of Cricket Captain on the Retro Cavern that has no sticker or dongle! There is also a boxshot of Cricket Captain that shows the sticker and dongle so I would say with certainty that no sticker means no dongle! Same for ebay listings, where there is no sticker there is no dongle shown! |

Thanks
 I'm waiting for Striker Manager and Football Director II to be delivered as both had the sticker on the box when I ordered them! Retro Cavern has a listing for Striker Manager that shows the sticker and dongle and an ebay listing that shows no sticker or dongle. This is the ebay listing for Football Director II that shows the sticker and dongle and another ebay listing that shows no sticker or dongle! There's an ebay listing for Rugby Coach that shows the sticker and dongle and another ebay listing that shows no sticker or dongle! |

Thanks!
Just noticed this in the instructions for Mult-Player Soccer Manager, Football Director II and Striker Manager: "If a dongle is supplied with this game, a sticker will be attached to the front of the box." and: "If no dongle is supplied, insert disk, the game will then load."
