Good news.

I already had a copy from somewhere... but still, very good news.

Can we offer it via here?

It's not in the public domain, it's still owned by Bethesda.

Dibs on review!

I've played this game many times - even got the original box copy at home which is not cheap these days so I can provide scans as well.

I think they're wrong in recommending a huge installation, it just duplicates all files and doubles the used disc space. Since the CD is actually mounted from the real HD, a minimum installation won't run any slower AFAIK. The game can't be played without CD anyway even if you made a huge installation.

When applying the .213 patch, if you chose the minimum installation, the patch installs a 22 MB file from the (virtual) CD into the (virtual) HD, because it assumes that it wouldn't be able to patch a file in a CD-ROM. I don't think there's any problem in moving it back into the CD, but I haven't tested the result thoroughly.

Don't start the game with dagger.exe, start it with fall.exe z.cfg (completely like written). Then it should work.
