You underestimate how distructive children can be :)
I know exactly what you mean. My children have a P90 multi-media system made from scrap bits of lots of old PCs. I came home from work one day, to find that our toddler had been putting twigs in the floppy drive ....
At least younger kids don't do it maliciously...
Seeing as most multi-media titles run as Win 16, Win 32 or Mac (the ones we buy anyway) - has any one had any luck running them under Wine ?
Just about all of the DK stuff will refuse moaning that it hasn't got the CD in. Currently the Wine settings don't fool whatever it is which is looking for a CD.
