I remember playing this game as a kid. If I'm thinking of the correct game if you put money it the bank it earned interest, and eventually you would have a boatload of money from the bank.

Default Obsidian Disc

Is this download actually playable without the disc? I am having trouble....

Maybe to no one seen that the last post was in 2013 and the one before in 2009. I am trying to recreate this game in the Divinity Original Sin egine, does anyone know if I will get in trouble for copyright violations?

Cheers!

This varies depending on the copyright owner. Some will shit cease-and-desists at the very idea, others won't care as long as you're not charging for what you produce.
The rule of thumb, however, is that if the game's owners want you shut down, they will send a C&D first, and only bother with anything more unpleasant if you cannot be contacted or ignore the notice.
Something to think of is that you will be recreating the game on a different engine - the only things of the original you will be using will be the text (obviously) and potentially also maps .
If you can identify who is the game's current owner, you might try contacting them and asking whether they would object to such a project. Then you'll know in advance whether there is any risk involved.
