The Adventurers - Wrong number of disks

Compilation: The Adventurers http://hol.abime.net/3392

HOL says it has 5 disks but my copy only has 4!

I think this is because the initial release of Corporation was on 2 Disks, Disk 1 being a short (and not really that great) intro and Disk 2 the actual game disk. Disk 2 was self booting so you didn't really need Disk 1 to play and I suspect why later releases removed the crap Disk 1 intro and just shipped Disk 2 without 'Disk 2' printed on it.

Hi Barry, you simply lack the Jaguar XJ220 demo disk included in the box.
Hunter = 1 ; Supremacy = 2; Corporation = 1 (single disk); Jaguar XJ demo disk = 1; Total = 5 disks

My bad Denis sorry! I went by the links to each game which showed Corporation as 2 disks!

However, there is no mention of the XJ220 Demo on the box or in the manual? So, did this only get included in certain releases or until the stack of Demo disks were used up?

possible that only the special edition box got it.
