Well, with no files removed from my version of Steel Panthers 1, and compressed as small as possible, it is about 224MBs which larger then what is on the site.
I know the version on the site has some files removed, but I don't know if I can successfully remove similar files without causing problems to the version I have, or if I have the right programs to do it, to get a better estimate.

Could I review Lord of the Realms 2? I loved that game!

I suggest you upload it on a file-sharing site for the ISO Cellar. Ripping CD versions when there's a DOS version available seems illogical. We rip games if there's only the CD version.

All the Steel Panthers were released on CDs. It is still the MS-DOS version, just on a CD with all the patches and expansion compiled into one CD instead of multiple CDs.
I believe there are some people here who could try removing some of the "extras" (intro, music, etc.) to get the file size down.
If you want, I can provide the Expansion CD for Steel Panthers instead, ISO file compressed to 3.1MBs.

El Quia, if you want to review Lords of the Realm 2, go ahead, although, unless someone can remove some of the files effectively (intro, music, etc.) it will end up in the ISO Cellar because, after compression, the file size comes to 314MBs.

Damn! Why everything I want to review is already reviewed or in the cellar :(

You should ask Chris about it, then. I'm no specialist in Rips (and to be frank, I hate them). But either way, it will involve you uploading the full game on some file-sharing site for Chris or someone else to actually take the game and manufacture that rip.

The Incredible Machine Version 3 review and game is up.

Don't have much time these days, sorry. If you send me a link, I'll take a look at it asap. But it might take a while, as this game is quite extensive and I don't have any savegames to play-test it. In any case it would fit into the cellar very well..
