installer (TDC)

• 2x35HD - TGOD#2431 ; TDC -- TGOD MBR is XTF-BOOT -- World War II- Battles of the South Pacific (Installer) [f1] (1993)(Quantum Quality Productions) [Strategy]
• INSTALL.DAT 9,538 09/10/1993 -- this combines the chained D2 INSTALL.DAT (.DA2) into one
• matches ; maybe move CRACK.COM out

installer a1

• 2x35HD - TGOD#2951 -- TGOD MBR is MSDOS5.0 with label
• INSTALL.DAT 9,529 09/07/1993 -- this has a different comment line deviation but is otherwise identical
• only documenting this since TGOD has no pics to compare

Moby shows two version (US/UK) so could be the issue.

So I went with theory 1 that the disk with XTF-BOOT is not the USA release, so added Mirage Technologies to help distinguish that release from the other.

• World War II- Battles of the South Pacific (1993)(Quantum Quality Productions, Mirage Technologies (Multimedia) Ltd.) [IMA][1440k].zip - this is tgod 2431. Likely UK release of this title, but unconfirmed. This has a XTF-BOOT OEM ID on disk1

• World War II- Battles of the South Pacific (1993)(Quantum Quality Productions) [IMA][1440k].zip - this is tgod002951, likely US release based on MSDOS5.0 OEM ID. Minor difference in install.dat file.

• World War II- Battles of the South Pacific (Installer) [f1] (1993)(Quantum Quality Productions, Mirage Technologies (Multimedia) Ltd.) [Strategy].zip - sourced from tgod 2431 IMAs, 2x1.44mb. Likely the UK release (see tdc_images wiki entries). Fixed/merged installer script to allow installation from hard drive instead of floppies. DISK.ID filename conflict resolved by naming disk 2's file as DISK.ID2, likewise with INSTALL.DAT. Installs identical content to US release.

• World War II- Battles of the South Pacific (Installer) [f1] (1993)(Quantum Quality Productions) [Strategy].zip - sourced from tgod002951 IMA set, 2x1.44mb, likely the US release.
